Damper bleed holes

[DaveG28]

How many Tamiya users put bleed holes in the shock caps on the 501x for when filling with oil?

Never tried it on my tam dampers but really like using them on the yokomo's.

I used them straight away for both my 501 and Durga - just makes the shocks so much easier to build and easier to keep them feeling all the same.

In the past I always used the Yokomo YS8 shock caps from the MX4 on my Associated 2wds so I was already familiar with the benefits of the bleed screws

No never have! Do you just use a 2mm drill to make the hole then put a self tapper in?

The worlds kit has the little allen head bleed screw in it. I found the shocks very good without, so never put them in

I used them on my 501 and yes, a 2mm drill would be fine. Andy never used them as he never changes his shock oil
