HPI E-Savage Shock Rebuild

January 29, 2009 · Posted in Bashing, How To, Maintenance, Videos · by simon  

I rebuilt my shocks, mainly because the stock shock seals don’t work, and also I wanted to shorten them a little to reduce the suspension travel and lower the truck to improve handling.

8 shocks took quite a while, but they’re done now. Not pefect, there’s some air in them, but they’re fine for bashing with. I have a pet hate of building shocks and waiting for the air to come out of them, I keep meaning to get a shock pump!

Video (long) showing how I rebuilt them:
