Default Losi Bleeder Shock Caps?

I'm using the losi bleeder caps. Would you use the original bladders? Getting conflicting answers. The losi caps come with an o-ring.

it actually depends on feel...

if you use the bleeder shock caps it may be more beneficial to go with an emultion type set up for your shocks.

if you want to use bladders then you would not use the o ring that came with the bleeder caps.

it all depends on how you like your shocks working

+1 it's a tuning option. I use the o-rings and built the shocks emulsion style on my SCTE and love it!

Yep, most guys are running the O-rings as far as I've seen, at least on 22 stuff. No bladders. The bleeder caps are a lot easier to get a good consistent build with.

The bleeder caps are designed to use the o-ring seals so you can 'bleed' the excess air and oil from the screw hole.
