I have the Kyosho oil filled shocks. I built them just as the instructions said. The 2 rear shocks and 1 front shock perform as they should. My problem is the other front seeps oil at the shaft. It did this from the beginning, even during the initial fill stage. I have pulled it completely apart 3 times and reassambled, paying attention to the seating of the bladder, with the same results.
I believe the seals for this one shock are just faulty. I am clueless on how to contact Kyosho for warranty. I bought the shocks from an on line supplier, sent him an e-mail 5 days ago, asking him if he had any ideas, and haven't received any reply. I don't know if he doesn't have any ideas either so didn't reply back, I hope it isn't because he just doesn't care, but since he didn't reply back...who knows.
Does anyone know where I can get a rebuild kit, or other shock shaft o-rings for one of these shocks. I am open to ideas to fix it, but my thought still goes to simply an o-ring seal problem.
Thanks for your help,
Paul
