Leaky shocks with Northy whities

delanobe · #1 01-07-2008

Did a rebuild with northy withies and 2 of the 4 shocks are leaking after 1 club meeting.

I have another set build with the standar red/orange O-rings without any problems?

How can this be as with my associated shocks they are perfect?

TIA

you havnet built them right

simple

what shocks are they?

and did you replace the parts inside the shocks as well or just the o rings?

Hi,

I'm talking about Losi Shocks. As you know they are very simple to rebuild/build.

Never had a problem with the normal O-rings in the Losi shocks.

As I said before, they are perfect in the asso shocks.

Thanks

I installed some new whities in Losi shocks at the weekend and they were perfect.

I had to do it because the cartridge kept blowing its top off, did you do it on a new cartridge? that could be the problem.

i never heard of these nortech 'withies'

it maybe your rebuild kit i'd rebuild them again and make sure you everything in the right order and properly in place with no flashing on the washers, I had a big problem with this when i had my b44 at the start of the year ruining a few of my regionals as the rear shocks would have nothing left in them after a few races and this was with the standard red orings, after i rebuilt them with a new rebuild kit they havn't leaked since and have been running whities a while now and have been on the losi shocks on my x6 too and not had problems at all
