Hi there, do you guys get much leakage from your shocks? I found with the CVA's and now with the TRF Hop-Up's I'm getting quite a bit of leakage... perhaps needing a proper top-up every 8-10 packs.

In my racing buggy (511) I can burn through 20 packs easy without the need for more shock oil and that's my only real experience sorry.

I did use "buggy" methods to build the shocks which when I also refer to this page for Mini shocks seems pretty okay. I even use Associated Green Slime on the rings.

What's your experience? Do I need to upgrade to x-rings?

Sorry if this has previously been discussed, it's a long thread! I did a few searches, found some similar questions but no real discussion.

M03SWB w/TRF 54000 Shocks <- I got these to stop the leakage! The CVA's were quite fine actually otherwise.

TIA
