Leaky shock cure

[carty]

Anyone got any cures for leaking shocks? Thanks.

What shocks are they and where are they leaking from?

they are fg style on a Hobbypro mutilator identical to carson attack and they are leaking from the bottom o ring area, tried some green slime with the orings to no avail, will probably just get some fg shocks to be honest just wondered if anyone had a quick cheap fix for running over xmas

check your shock shafts for scratches. the shocks on my hobby-pro gt-40 leaked pretty bad too. tryed all kinds of stuff, but after a bad crash had to replace the shafts and they haven't leaked since. roll the shafts on a table to make sure they are perfectly staight. if they are bent they will leak. also, try not to slide the 0-rings over the threaded end. the threads will scratch a perfectly good set of o-rings and couse them to leak.. sthe hobby-pro shafts scratch very easy cousing them to sweat. a thicker fg oil will stop that, but get or make some shock sox. i made mine on wifey's sewing machine, but getting cought will surely be embarrasing.
