Well, i have the new Kyosho Evolva M3, and I i was hoping if you can tell me the right way to build the shock absorbers to work (oil filling etc). is there any "rule of thumb"?
What about the shock springs? i was searching for a rate chart regarding the kyosho springs but no luck; any one knows about the rate and color of the springs?
Thanks, guys
Actually there is an M3 thread wandering around here somewhere but your questions are applicable to both. The way I build my shocks is put my finger over the small end and fill 1/3 to 1/2 way, insert piston and rod assembly all the way to bottom , use vacuum chamber (or time) to get out bubbles, move piston up about 1/3 , drop in bladder and use a tool to gently seat, add the plastic shock end and put the cap on and screw down snugly - fingers only no pliers.
Springs - the whites in the kit are in the middle, silver softer, black harder.
