AE shock rebuild help

[slapshot1979]

I run these shock on my custom clod and they need a rebuild, IE leaks. shafts are fine. I dont know what generation or what not these are. Could someone lead me to a rebuild part number??




my backups are a first generation Losi set and I cant get them to react the same as these

its the standard 6440 kit, enough to do all 4. make sure to grab some green slime too

I just rebuilt my shocks twice now. I did the AE kit the first time. Maybe it was inexperiance, or maybe something else. I eneded up tearing the o-rings (I used green slime) pretty bad and the shocks were pretty sticky (maybe overfilled). I ordered some Acer Ultra-O rings and did another rebuild. The o-rings stayed together better during the rebuild and the shocks seem pretty good. Just my recent experiance, and maybe I just figured out how to insert the shafts better the second time.. My only other shock build was my orginal shocks about 25 years ago.

I've always had problems with the stock red o rings.

Found some replacements for the red ones and they work great. in fact they are a little harder. No pinching or spliting, pop together first time and i have no leaks since the rebuild

the trick with o-rings is to put a drop of oil on them and the shaft, and when you put the shaft into the shock body, wiggle it and move in a circular motion as you push it into the o-ring.
