Shock o rings for 511

[mikeyscott]

Finding shocks loosing too much oil, what o rings are people using. Currently using nortech ones.

How are the Nortech ones? Never heard of them... I use either stock ones (they don´t leak if you use the white plastic spacer instead on black spacer-shims-black spacer) or the Associated ones ( much smoother used with black spacer-0.4mm shims-black spacer).

Can't remember what spaces and so forth I have in there. I'll look at that etc.

Standard red ones. Makes the shaft move just fine and keep the oil in. No shims required.

I am using Kyosho X-rings in mine, no leaking and smooth there are two versions one is red and one is transparent difference being transparent = a little smoother but shorter life

I heard that the kyosho x rings (grooved) were a pretty popular choice at the euros. I had a few packs in a couple of days ago and only have one pack
left now. Will have more in soon!

Fit tamiya shocks?

I'll take them to try.
