fuel tube in shocks.

[jose.28]

So i put 1/8 scale shocks on my emaxx and there way to long.
A guy from another habby shop that i went to said that i could put fuel line tubing in the shock body that way it has a spacer and thats where your shocks will stop.
Is this ok?

Yep, it works great, and won't hurt a thing. FYI, you need to put the tubing on the shock shaft itself.

Ok sweet. I figured id ask since i got to swap out the shock oil. Having 8 1/8 shocks rides kinda stiff.

I have done it in the past. I found air line from a fish tank works better. The fuel tube tears up quicker and the air line is a forever thing until you take it out.

I did it to a few of my savages, I used extra rubber bump stops from other savage shocks rebuild kits on the inside of the shock body, slipped on over the shock shaft.
