Hey guys,
I have been running my car the whole last Indoor season and the whole year outdoor. I simply love it, it's the best car i have ever owned.
Since the Outdoor season began in April i rebuilt the dampers with the aluminium shock caps as i had the regular plastic caps coming off from time to time although i really liked their design.
Now what i realized is that after a 6 minutes run i often can see that shock oil came out of the tiny hole in the shock cap. Since the plastic caps don't have these holes i am wondering what this is for? If i run about 10 runs i assume that there is missing a certain amount of Shock oil causing the damper to suck some air.
Is this hole for exiting oil while landing hard after a jump? But why do the plastic caps haven't got that hole?
I know from the 1/8th dampers from a friend that these have this hole too but i never saw oil coming out of it. Guys any help is much appreciated!
