How Do You Fill RC Car Shocks?

Filling RC car shocks is an important part of building and maintaining your remote control car. Shocks are a key part of the suspension system, and they help keep your car running smoothly.

There are many different ways to fill your shocks, but the most common method is to use shock oil. Shock oil helps maintain the ideal dampening characteristics of the shock and can also help reduce wear on other parts of the suspension system.

To fill the shocks with oil, you’ll need a container for holding the oil, an appropriate sized syringe for transferring it into the shock, and a scale for measuring out just the right amount. To begin, pour some shock oil into your container, and then measure out an appropriate amount onto your scale.

Next, attach the syringe to the shock and make sure it’s securely in place. Slowly pull back on the plunger until it’s all the way up, then push down until you’ve reached your desired amount.

Once you have reached your desired amount of oil in each shock, you will want to check that there are no air bubbles trapped in them. To do this, you will need to slowly move each shock up and down while watching for any air bubbles that may be present. If any bubbles do appear, simply release them by using a needle to poke a small hole in them.

Conclusion:

Filling RC car shocks is an important part of maintaining a remote control car’s performance. The most common method is to use shock oil which can be transferred into shocks using a syringe or an appropriate size container. It’s important to check for air bubbles by slowly moving each shock up and down before driving your car.
