If anyone is unsure on filling and setting up there shocks as there is no detail in the manual, i found this from the Losi 8 manual spot on as the shock design is the same.
Ensure the Shaft is fully extended when filling the shock.
Fill the Shock Body with ??wt. Shock Oil until the Oil is to the top of the Body.
“Work” the Shock Shaft up and down a times. This will release the air bubbles trapped beneath the Piston. Place the filled Shock, in the upright position, off to the side for a few minutes until the air bubbles escape from the Oil.
Once all the air bubbles are out of the Oil, gently place the Shock Bladder onto the Shock as shown. Some Oil should “bleed” from the Shock.
Screw the Shock Cap onto the Body until some resistance is felt.
Slowly push the Shock Shaft up. This will bleed excess Oil from the Shock.
Tighten the cap all the way down using the shock tools included in your kit.
Move the Shock Shaft up and down. The Shaft should be easy to push up into the Body of the Shock. If increased pressure is felt towards the top, there is to much oil in the Shock. Loosen the Shock Cap and “bleed” the Shock as done previously.
