Shock Assembly - Traxxas Slayer Pro 4x4 59074 Owner's Manual

Shock assembly

1. Replace the stock piston with desired
optional piston. Be careful not to lose the
small washer located below the piston.
2. Position the new piston onto the shock
shaft above the small washer. Grip the
threads of the shaft with side cutters or
needlenose pliers and tighten the nut with
the 4-way wrench to secure the assembly.
3. Insert the shock shaft assembly through the shock body until the
piston bottoms out.
4. Lubricate the shaft and X-ring with silicone oil.
5. Install the X-ring over the shaft and into the bore of the shock
body.
6. Install the lower cap using the suspension multi-tool (B).
7. Slide the bump stop onto the shaft.
8. Grip the shaft close to the threads with needle nose pliers or side
cutters and thread the rod end onto the shock shaft until the rod
end bottoms out (C).
9. Fill the shock with new silicone shock oil up to the top of the
shock body. Slowly move the piston up and down (always keeping
it submerged in oil) to release the air bubbles. Let the shock sit for
a few minutes to allow any remaining air bubbles to surface.
10. Slowly thread the upper cap with the installed shock bladder onto
the shock body with the suspension multi-tool (A). The excess oil
will bleed out of the small hole in the shock cap. Tighten the shock
cap until snug. Use the included steel shock wrench to hold onto
shock body while tightening.
11. Reinstall the spring and lower retainer.
