Wing mount parts!
Screw the mounts to the shock tower with four m3x12 button heads.
Then place the two wing spacers over the mount & hold down with body pins.
Right time to get cracking on the shocks!
Start by trimming all the plastic parts of the trees/sprues!
I'm going to be putting 1.3 pistons in both front & back but 30w oil in the front & 35w in the rear!
First up fit the shaft with a 2.5mm C-clip.
Slide you piston over the shaft & secure it with another 2.5mm C-clip.
shafts ready! Screw adjustment rings onto the shocks! Nice 3Racing emblem on the shock bodies. Nice little touch!
Right, time lube up the seals & what not. Instead of the Associated green slim, I opted to try some GMK Shock Snot!
It seems to have a thicker viscosity than green slime dose. It seemed to stay on the seals with ease
In order of packing into the bottom of the shock body........O-ring cover, O-ring, O-ring spacer, O-ring, O-ring cover.
The screw on the bottom end cap!
Shock shaft & body built!
Pre tapping the shock cap with it's bleeder screw.

Rear shocks in place.
& there we have it!
Leccy bits next!
