Team Associated RC10B7.1 Shock Assembly

[Jerold]

I'm putting together some some 13mm front shocks and have a few questions. The kit is ASC91994 "Team Associated 13mm Big Bore Front Shock Kit"

1. What is Green Slime, why do I need it, what do you use?

2. It has me stack two nylon washer on the shock shaft. They seem to just float. Why and what do they do?

​

3. What are the extra eyes for? Looks like maybe Steering Links (ASC92579) and Anti-Roll Bar Links (ASC92579), but that shows a different parts tree.

Green Slime is just an o-ring/x-ring lube to help with sealing/stiction and prevent tears from shock shaft threads. Right or wrong... I just use Maxima waterproof grease or Green Grease for my ring lube and diff lube duties . The nylon washers are just used as bump stops/external shock limiters. Those smaller rod ends sure do look like parts used for sway bars.

Like Rusty said, I'm pretty sure the small eyelets are for the sway bars. The other eyelets in different lengths can be used to adjust your droop.

Thread 'alternatives to green slime?'

Mar 21, 2024

hey howsit going
i just got my desert lizard shocks in. I'm all eager to put them together when i realised as per usual i forgot something. in this case green slime for the o rings. are there alternatives that would work as well? i have marine grease on hand. wouldnt that work the same? or is the green slime chemically specific to something?
whats a poor mans version of green slime?
please and thank you.
i would also love recomendations on shock weights for a crawler while i have you here. i have 30 wt available but havent ran anything other than factory shocks as per this posting...
