Does anyone have a problem with the shocks leaking?
Just got my x10 and the shocks were leaking rebuilt them with new seals from xtreme and they still leak.
Any help or tips in building them would be good.
Thanks

northy's your man on this one drop him a pm.
from my experiance with the car, have run one since the x10 was re released leaking should not happen.
cause one is normally seals but you have changed these
cause two, overfilling the shocks, pred shocks are a little differant and it takes practice to fill them right

Have a damn close look at how you've built them, because mine leak very little just a litle top up upon occasion.

If built correctly they should not leak. I use the later revision white bush and my Nor-tech o-rings, and they are silky smooth ;)

:eh?: Did you replace the piston guides as well as the seals? If they've taken a knock the guide can beccome oval in shape and allow the piston to slop about from side to side too much.:)
