here's how i do my shocks... make sure the shaft is fully extended. fill with oil till the top is overflowing a little bit. let them sit for a bit for air bubbles to escape. set the bladder on the top of the oil. slowly compress the shock so that oil leaks out beneath the bladder. slowly extend the shock so the bladder sucks down to the shock body. assemble cap and tighten.

i've done them this way since losi changed shock designs. never had a leak or air bubbles.
