Shocks not rebounding

[Mayhem]

The stock shows on my Rustler arn't rebounding maybe because of the cold weather or because they sucks. I have a brand new bottle of 50WT that i was gonna use for my T but never did. Should I use this?

Try preloading them first...

 

[Mayhem]

How?

How cold is it?

Dont forget - it will freeze regardless. 50 wt will get cloggy quicker from my experience, yet 10wt can literally freeze if left alone.

I find that running in extremely cold conditions, no matter your shock setup, it will get sticky fast.

umm I dunno how cold it was when i drove it but now it is 0 so maybe about 20 degrees.

I notice there not rebounded inside like 3 hours after I drove it today.

Might be time for a rebuild then. Did you check to make sure that you have enough oil in them?

Also, try making the spring tension stiffer by putting more spacers in. (preloading)

 

[Mayhem]

These are brand new. Ill try some spacers.

Mayhem if they are new its very common that they dont fill them to the proper level. I suggest pulling them off and checking them stock oil in TRX is 30 weight X
