That's not possible. As the shaft enters the shock body, the volume increases. It has to go somewhere. Air is compressible, but the shock oil not so much. In the real world there are monotube and twin tube shocks. Monotube has a floating piston with compressible nitrogen behind it. Twin tube has a bag of air in the outer chamber. Your shock build has air bubbles. Without compressible gas, the shock hydro locks.

I think your misunderstanding me
Emulsion: Building a shock with a sealed cap knowing that removing 100% of the air is impossible EG: old AE shocks
Vented: Removing excess air and oil volume via bleeder screw. 0 air, but vacuum at full extension that eventually draws air through orings.

Some could consider both styles similar. I don’t. Bleeders make building the shocks air free and consistent so much easier than years ago. I’ve never liked bladders in lighter cars like our 1/10. Imo they add rebound and additional dampening that’s less consistent than bleeders. 1/8 is different mainly due to additional weight, as the bladders have much less effect on the shocks imo.

For those running the 2.0mm chassis and 2.5mm rear top deck, are you running the aluminum chassis rails/stiffners? Not sure what too much flex is with the belt system. I left them off on my first k2 for flex but building my new one with the option chassis and rear deck.
Thanks

Thanks.
Anyone know where to get the front arm aluminum pivots that replace the plastic ones? Searched high n low and it looks like they are no longer available?

Hey tony! Thanks for the reply. I'm looking for what I believe they call "A" pivot for the front arm. I thought they use to offer an aluminum version of this? I've found it on DRCS website in the past I thought. Think they labels them as 10* aluminum pivots?

Found em! These should work on k2 or not?

The air in your vented description is introduced the first time you draw the shaft out to extension after sealing the cap. If the shock were air tight, you would not be able to move the shaft because silicone is not compressible at all (dot5 brake fluid is silicone).
