The AE shocks are in desperate need of an update if you ask me - an easier way to install / remove the orings would be my only real wish.

AE shocks were good 20 years ago, but they seriously need updating !
The Kyosho shocks on the ZX5 were also easy to work on, but I couldn't prevent them from leaking.

I agree with you Jimmy and Stefke, AE shocks delivered with 1/10 offroad kits, need an update. They are still the same since the begin of 80's !

So I wonder why AE shocks for RC8 are built with bladders and thoses for RC10Bxx without?
