SC10 4x4 Thread
I'm racing my stock b4 and sc10 4x4....I've been trying to dial my truck but the rear is getting under the truck. That's been my main issue. I'm running yellow springs all around. Tried FT blue on rear and no help. Got the C hub and that helped but not as much as I like. I'm running zero spacers on inner ball stud (rear and front). I think if I can find that one thing my truck would be dialed. Work in progress...
Need help.
Can't get my kit shocks to stop leaking.
They leak out of the x-rings.
I've tried:
New cartrage with new seals
Green slime
TiN shafts.
All those items are currently new. I built the front shocks with 30wt bladder with zero rebound. After 5 pumps of the shock shaft, oil starts coming out at the seal.
I have no idea what else to try.

Go AE's website and dowload the FT SC10 4x4 manual. AE added an additional o-ring ASC6469, which is the same o-ring used in the 2wd shock caps and other shocks, that goes between the shock cartridge body and the shock body.
Also, make certain the tapered side of the shock cartridge is pointed up as on page 24 of the FT manual and page 21 in the Team version. I also wait to tighten down the shock cartridge cap until after I've inserted the shock shaft. I turn the shock shaft as I'm inserting it so as to not "scrape" the threads past the x-rings, possibly damaging them.
Also, make certain you aren't damaging the shafts with pliers or something. I hold my shock shafts with diagonal side cutting wire cutters right above the top thread of the shaft when I'm threading on the shock rod end. Others use something to protect the shock shaft, like a cloth, to protect the shaft.
