So I have 2 issues I need to get sorted out. My heave dampers seem to have air in them that I can't seem to get out. I've built the dampers stock, with x-rings instead of o-rings, with and with out green slime....and I still have a little air in the dampers. Anybody got any solutions?
2nd issue is the ball ends, they are very brittle. Seems like each time I build this car I crack one. Possibly my fault...
...but just in case it's not anybody have this issue? Any solutions, short of using another brand of ball ends?

Hey Teach,
The plastic shock caps need to be real tight. I also let the dampers sit for a while to air out the bubbles. Green slime and HPI #6820 silicone o rings and it works great.
I haven't broke a ball end yet but I do have to use pliers to snap them on as they are such a hard plastic. Haven't tried any other ball ends yet but I'll see what I can figure out today.
