Note: The shock bodies are designed to work with upper shock cap ST2267 (which will accomodate the upper seal O-ring)
Note: when building the lower shock cartridge it is best to use new O-rings, but use the black plastic spacer from the stock plastic grey shocks
Note: It is also recommended that Associated green slime to be used when building the shock cartridge (especially if you plan on up grading to Traxxas Ti-nitride shock shafts) Due to the ti-nitride treatment, the ti-nitride shock shaft will be slightly smaller in diameter which the green slime will help keep a good seal between the cartridge and the shock shaft

Note: The bottom mounting plate is not symmetrical (longitudinal wise) so be sure to have the correct side mounting over the transmission and over the chassis
note: blue lock-tite helps in securing screws to the metal parts

Note: Our latest version of the caster blocks will accepted the threaded type king-pin screws. Older XL-5 series owners will need to pick up the Traxxas threaded type king-pin screws to install our caster block. Our latest version will bolt right on to the Slash and VXL series vehicles
Note: The machined grip on the outside of the shock caps are to help provide better grip during assembly
Note: The deeper groove at the bottom inside of the shock caps are to accommodate the sealing o-rings from shock bodies ST3765 and ST3766.
Note: The neck of the upper shock cap mounts have been extended taller by 1.5mm to provide clearance around the shock tower mounting points

Note: Be careful when screwing on the red retaining ring. The rings are not pre-threaded and as you install them, you’ll be making the thread during the process.
