Thanks

the way I do it is fill them with oil, pump the Liston ul and down a few times and then pull the piston all the way out. Let it sit and then top off with oil. Place the bladder in the top so it causes oil to squish out. Wipe up the oil and put the cap on slowley. Tighten and you are done. BTW that technique was given to me by racer103. Gotta give credit where credit is due.

technique.....isn't that how all shocks are built ?;)

Ill add to that to keep the vent hole pointing up and hold the shocks on a 45 degree angle to allow any air If any between the blatter and cap to equalize when screwing the cap on. :nod:

I currently have an 8T 1.0 and I am thinking about upgrading. Is the 2.0 worth the money as far as upgrading goes? What are the advantages as far as handling? I have only raced truggies a couple of times but I am already hooked.

Yes it's worth it. It is a totally different animal! Blows the 1.0 out of the water.;)

Plus right now if you use the rebate things get cheap. The 2.0 t is quite a bit more stable than 1.0. Only issue we all run into swtching from the original 1.0 to 2.0 t is the 0 offset wheels compared to 1/2 on 1.0. After you make the switch you will be even more hooked
