Sticking at first is from the Orings pushing the oil away if given enough time to do so. What it means is you have a good seal. The only fix really us to have a poor seal. That way fluid can always get between the Oring and the shaft surface.

I ended up getting Samix shock hard coated shock bodies. They have preload collars which I love. Not sure why traxxas didn’t do that for upgrade parts.

Did you get new orings with them or just use stock like the Traxxas ?

Ya my front shocks have the same issue. The shock shafts have burs on them making them stick when left for 5 mins with no load. For some reason the rear is smooth.

Same with all fours. And I have this issue with the shocks on the TRX-4 Sport too.

Thanks for the vid. I was wondering if you needed the whole kit to convert to aluminum bodies, handy tip on using the exact o to pop the cap off. Also liked the filling technique you used. The shocks looked very smooth with your method. I liked the tune when you were fast forwarding through the shock disassembly reassembly. Parts seemed similar to Dragula which I love. So did the 1up help with the stiction? It looks like it did.

Thank you for watching ! The shocks don’t stick any more and so far no leaks much better than out of the box !

We have two defenders, both leaking. Not sure yet if it's the weep hole or the cap.

I bought 2 Defenders and all 8 shocks are leaking. Very disappointing…

Is it leaking from the top or the bottom of the shock ?
