1. My shocks leak like a motha-fu****. I have been building shocks for years so I know I built them right. I think the single seal is the culprit. Do any of you run an aftermarket/ different brand seal that seals tighter? For example. In my sc10.2, I use HPI shocks seals because they are .2mm smaller I.d. This grips the shaft a little better and prevents leaking.
2. I can't seem to get the truck to turn very tightly. I am running 7-5-3 on a large indoor clay track. I was thinking of going to 5k up front. Anyone else run at OCRC or SDRC ? What weight diff oil are you using up front?
I think your issue might be the bottom cap isn't screwed on all the way. If you have the ones that are too small you will have to use vice scripts to screw them until they meet the bottom of the shock body.
