alright guys, i know this isnt the crawler room. But i have an axial scx10 with some ax10 shocks on it. I just rebuilt the shocks using 35wt oil, The same i use on my sc10 2 and 4 wheel drive. But anyways, overnight they leak? I never have this issue in my sc trucks. What can i use to seal them better? Teflon tape?

Where do they leak at ? The cap or the lower seal ? You might have pinched an o ring when you reassembled the shocks or one might have shifted and isnt sealing . Also dont tighten down the caps too much as this can pinch/smash the oring as well and cause a leak .

They are all leaking from the caps, i did tighten them really tight. I noticed that the seals were actually inside the bodies. so just snug them? i dont have this problem with associated lol

make sure the threads are all clean next check the seals/o rings and maybe even the bladders. You should not need to use any kind of extra sealent. I guess if all elese fails some teflon tape wouldnt hurt

You shouldnt need teflon tape to keep them leaking , when you tighten the caps go maybe a 1/4 turn past hand tight , dont crank them down or the o ring is gonna get smashed out of place and they will leak for sure .
