Typhon Shocks

[fpjmjb]

I keep popping the top off my shocks. Not jumping or bashing any, just around the yard and ball fields. Looking to either upgrade or just some aluminum tops. Problem is I lost the top rubber piece under the top. that I guess kind of holds the oil. Some help appreciated on either to ditch the stock shocks or just upgrade to aluminum caps.

Maybe just replace the bladders. In my experience the plastic caps hold well unless you really stress them. Running around a ballfield or your yard won't cause them to pop off. But it's your money. The aluminum ones are nice.

Help on the part number for the bladders would be great.

Your shocks tops shouldn't be popping off so easily though. I'd check the shock bodies and shock caps to make sure there is no thread damage or other damage causing your issue. Best of luck.

Thanks a bunch guys, one last question, what weight of oil?

That's really up to you.

The standard weight which Arrma put in the Typhon V3 is 550 CST/weight silicone oil.

If I saw this before...I emptied my new typhone shocks and filled them with 575cst oil (team associated) ... I would like to use these shocks on my granite, but I do not know which density cst oils would be best to use?

I think most use 35 or 37.5 weight ??‍

does the weight make a huge difference in performance?

Higher weight fluid just slows the piston. Makes the shock stiffer.
