one-way, first I'm going to assume you've followed the instructions in the manual for building them. If you have the cartridge, shaft, and shock body properly built, here is where I go from there:
Put some Associated green slime on the o-rings that surround the shaft. It'll help. Secondly, fill the shock body from the bottom to about 4/5 full. It won't need that much, but if I don't fill that much I will always end up under filling. Maybe my eyes are bad. Next, screw the cartridge onto the shock slowly with the shaft fully extended (piston butting up to the shock limiter or cartridge). Once the cartridge is almost completely screwed on, push the shaft into the shock very slowly so as to release air and excess oil. Once you push the shaft completely in, keep it there and screw the cartridge completely tight with just your fingers. Done and done. That's it. In comparison to all my other 1/10 shocks, the Kyosho ones have been the best by far. I almost never have to re-do that process to have the shocks working perfectly on a rebuild. You may hear a little bit of air on the rear ones after doing this process, but just pump the shock a bit and the air will move to the top of the shock and it should still be smooth after that.
