RC12L replacement source for rear oil shock?

Quote

Post by GeneralZod » Fri Feb 01, 2013 7:04 pm

Here is another one of my old favorites. It’s an early RC12L that has seen lots of track time. Somewhere along the way, the rear pod oil shock went missing after many years and I would like to find a replacement unit but not sure what would be a suitable replacement. Was wondering if any fellow RC12 owners out there have a good source for this shock? I would like to clean it up and run brushless + lipo’s someday.

Actually the shock is still in production (although it iis blue). The part number is 4470

$14 from Tower (shows old silver color)

It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Does anyone feels like the rear shocks on the optima/javelin rere should have a thiker oil? I finished building my car and when I drop it on the table from about 20cm, the rear bottom bangs on the table. I filled the shocks according to...

Thicker oil or piston rings with smaller/fewer holes, either will help. You may need stronger springs to make sure the shocks fully decompress after changing those items.

If the oil is too thick or the piston holes too small, you'll probably get...

Hi folks,

I'm building up a SWB Cat with Fibrelyte chassis and Mr Lexan repro body, and don't have a SWB drive belt. I imagine genuine SWB Cat belts are either non-existant or being hoarded (rightfully so). I recall reading once somewhere that...

Needing Shock Oil , mostly for T3s and other AE (MGT, DS, yada, yada), but also own Traxxas (Rustlers, Street Sports, REVO). So, what do we get? Can one be used in place of the other, and maybe not be vice versa?
I know its not a vintage question,...

There isn't a fluid on earth that doesn't change viscosity with temperature change.

But shear thinning is a whole different thing :D

Hello everyone

What shock oil weight came with the cadillac era gold pan car? I'm restoring one, but don't want to use exactly what came in the kit, but something close to it. I'm thinking it's somewhere between 30-40 wt, but I'm not certain. I've...

I'll keep an eye on them - thanks. If they do happen to do that over time, then I'll get a full set of TRF silicone o-rings to eliminate that problem.

I decided to take a break from the RC-10's and build up a T-MAXX from my parts. I was just wondering what you guys think is a good medium weight for the original shocks?

Last post

The stock oil is supposedly 30wt, but I would say more like 20-25. I would go with 30-35wt. Associated oil.

Love this guys videos. He has some great tear downs of tools.
His latest has him using some Losi shock oil.

I am guessing he discovered this when he was working on this video for kinetic sand creation.
