Re-re SRB dampers
Hi:
The old SRB shocks with single o-ring leak like anything.
The new re-re srb has new shocks with double o-rings, do they still leak? Does the new design really work well??

Yes they leak a tiny bit, no big deal. Just top them up!

Re: Re-re SRB dampers
I've found that unless you get them really tight, they will leak. Has to do with the way they are machined inside the body sandwiching the o-ring. Tighten them down good and they are acceptable.

Re: Re-re SRB dampers
nice to hear i'm not the only one who thinks these shocks do leak.
nothing i would have expected to come from tamiya after so many years in this hobby. anyone know of a good replacement set that would fit without huge modifications?
