Hi, I am struggeling to find the problem, maybe you can help me! If I drop the car, it does not come up all the way again, but the shocks stay down a bit, is it because there is too less shock oil inside? Thanks

[@RCVOODOO]

Shock oil only makes it come up slower. Sounds like the springs needed adjusted down with the adjustment rings on the shock. tighten the rings to make stronger springs. That would be my guess

[@Serial1977]

@@RCVOODOO I have a similar problem, front left shock gets stuck when I push it all the way down. I think maybe I bent it slightly? Can't really see it with the naked eye.

[@Serial1977]

Confirmed it was bent slightly. I unscrewed it bend it in place and now it doesnt get stuck anymore

[@M.TTT.]

If the RC hits/bounces when dropping, maybe it needs more oil?

[@RCVOODOO]

Its got to be tuned. if it bottoms out easy. Maybe go with thicker oil. The bouncing is usually because of not enough oil

@@JohnDiseranno1992 the surpass hobby combo

[@argg.x]

why did you say to not pack it with grease? i watched a few vids and everyone does it differently

[@RCVOODOO]

If you pack it it causes the diff to be tight. Try it and see. The axle will not turn as smoothly and effortlessly. You can always take it back out. It Causes the motor to work harder with the diffs packed tight. More strain on the motor less efficient battery. Shorter motor life

[@mulberry8930]

Actually if you packed it with grease, it will be heavier to turn until you break in the grease. The excess grease will leak and the remaining will stay to butter your gears.

that is normal and designed to save the gears from stripping the first trigger push forward is brakes the second push forward is reverse.
