My TBII has been pretty darn reliable and fun but I'm having issues with the rear shocks. Being a virgin in the 1/5 scale and also in RTR models, I ignored all recommendations of a tear down and inspection. I paid for that lesson! When I did the tear down, I found the rear shocks leaking. Upon further inspection, the top caps were cross threaded on. Scott at Nutechracingusa hooked me up with new shock bodies/caps, and new shaft seals. After switching over to new ones, they still leakfrom the top cap and if I get that to stop, the shaft leaks! I can't get the top cap to tighten up enough without stripping the fine threads and I can't tighten the bottom cap tight enough without really damaging the shock body. So before I JB WELD this thing together and someone has any info, that would be great!!!
