Granite No more leaky shocks...

[westy197]

Finally replaced my leaky old shocks with some nice shiny metal ones from zd racing

Those look great! For anyone looking for a cheap fix, the new o-rings in the latest 3S lineup refresh seem to do the trick too (ARA716035 & ARA716036)

Yeah... They didn't seem to consider it a warranty claim. I tried.

Well they did for me....

So, you had leaky V2 shocks and they sent you the replacement V3 o-rings?

Yep

Yep

That's awesome. Clearly their warranty policies are at the discretion of the CS rep, and it's a bit of a dice roll.

I lucked out one time where I got 2 sets of tires to replace a broken wheel, so I shouldn't complain about $10 worth of o-rings

Well.... I got 50USD worth of shocks!

We replaced my son's gryphon's shocks with the v3 shocks and no problems!

Mine still leak like crazy on my v2 typhon 3S. Those o rings are going to be a great buy.

The stock shocks aren't that bad but I would prefer something with at least a threaded body, replaceable rod ends and something that uses a more standard shock design. Not sure why Arrma felt the need to reinvent the wheel when it came to the shocks on the 1/10 platform.

When you got yours, what did they look like? Are they clear like on the website or black? I tried ordering some back in August and they were black. I have never been sure if I got new ones or replacement v2 ones.

Here's a pic of the new o-rings. The culprit for leaking are the ones on the left.
