Are those the caps with the small bleeder screw ? What do they do for the shocks and do you have to use a bladder with those caps ?
Thanks.

Yes they are. They are supposed to let u push out the excess oil in the shock so that each shock will have the same amount of oil in them. You do not need a bladder for that cap I believe, someone correct me if im wrong.

raving-monkey

nope, no bladder with that cap.

if there was, the bleed screw would be pointless

Yep, its either one method or the other

raving monkey- you posted a while back that the bleeder screw versions were a pain, am I right?

The ys-8d caps do not have screws. They are solid caps with bladders.

Anyone else have an alternative part to replace the associated caps with a functional bladder type? I have had two ideas. For example do the Xray shocks have bladders? If so will the xray caps fot the assoc shock bodies? Or maybe jrxs or another brand?

1. Drill and tap a small hole in the assoc caps I already have to allow the use of a set screw from the bunch I have in spare parts from old pinions. (hence the verification from raving monkey)

2. Just add bladders to the assoc caps. The only trouble would be finding bladders that fit. Anyone with ideas here?

on my old 'cuda it had bleed screws and it was a pain in the ass....in the end i just left them...saying that i didn't have my cuda long (handled like a bag of spanners)

i now use yoko caps with bladders and its muuuch better, really easy to build but i will be using tamiya shocks in the future.

xray caps won't work because the thread is metric, i don't know if any other shock caps will fit apart from yokomo ones, i know yoko caps work on 'cuda shocks though.

hmm, you could try losi caps but i aint 100% sure they would fit.

does anyone know the wate difference between the alum arm mounts and the stock ones or at least a ballpark of heavier or lighter?

Yoke bladder caps, as supplied with the SD and BD will screw straight onto AE shocks.

I've been using that system for a while. It works well.

I know Xray and Tamiya offer a foam spacer that goes above the bladder. I think this is to control rebound. John Bull have you tried this on your shocks ?
Thanks.
