I KNOW OIL IS SUPPOSED TO COME OUT WHILE BLEEDING ,I'M SAYING THAT AFTER THE PROSSES OF BUILDING THEM "PROPERLY" WHEN I COMPRESS THEM ALITTLE OIL STILL CAME OUT THE BLEED HOLE. I'VE BUILT PLEANTY OF SHOCK FROM MUG TO HB NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN, I DID LOOK AT THE LINK YOU SENT THANKYOU VERY MUCH. I MADE MY OWN COMPENSATOR AND ASSAMBLED THE SHOCKS. DOES LOSI SELL REAL COMPENSATOR'S .IF SO WHERE CAN I GET THEM? SHOULD I PUT THE BLADDER ON THE SHOCK BEFOR I PUT THE CAP, CAUSE I USUALY PUT THE BLADDER IN THE CAP THEN PROCEED TO BLEED SHOCKS THAT WAY. THANKS FOR YOU PATIENCE

It is a direct fit except for the cross braces. You need to use the Agama cross braces and you need to shim them open a bit ( make them longer )
I just put some washers over the ends before I snapped them into the holes on the wing mounts. It works great and I now have the best wing mount in the industry attached to the best buggy on the market
I hear Agama will be releasing a new wing mount soon so that should solve that problem

I build mine the same way Drake does. No oil leaks out of the cap once cleaned. If so, they you may have cut the baldder or it moved out of place. Do not bump the bladder when screwing on the cap and make sure it has a suction seal before screwing on.


My engine has never moved, 5 months on it.

I JUST ORDERED MUGEN TITAINIUM SCREWS FOR THE BOTTOM ENGINE MOUNT SCREWS SO ILL E SURE TO TIGHTEN THEM DOEN W/O STRIPPING ISSUES.I WILL BUILD THE SHOCKS ACCORDINGLY AND I BELIEVE THAT I MIGHT HAVE BUMPED THE BLADDER (MAY BE ) THANKS FOR THE TIP. THIS CAR IS FREAKIN FAST AND JUMPS WELL. BUT WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WITH THE LIGHTER OILS IN THE BUGGY 40 FRONT 27 WT REAR. DO YOU GUYS RUN FULL DROOP ?

When doing the shock mod besides putting foam behind the bladders do you also vent the cap? Do you use stock bladders? Any picks of what the foam should look like?
