    Thanks for the video. We used to use the little twisty ballons for shock boots. good on our 8th scale buggy shocks, they kept them from getting scratched up. And they where cheap.

      I cannot see if this are the Variable Shocks or not. At the V shocks we have the problem with the rebound by filling it up.

      Hey Mate, mine are not variable - the same method should work fine tho, maybe even better than a standard shock. The added port (or variable part) should flow the silicone better. Let me know if you gibe it a try!! Thanks for the comment!

    Hello Mark, can you share the code for that Mecatech stud with pass through hole?

    I wish 1/5 onroad was more popular here in Texas. We have some but not as intense as Europe and Australia.

    Also, can you send me the plans for the shock holder?
    Thanks again!

    I don't use hobby-grade silicon oil, they're so expensive compared to the industrial one... just buy random cst grade and mixed as you needed using this calculator...

      I don't know where you could buy in your country, but in my country, I usually buy them from my local chemical supplies store... You could buy industrial grade silicone oils...

      @Stener Pereira Mate thanks so much!!! yes bleeding this way works perfectly with the new variables, in fact the variables are easier to bleed.
