Full details

This guide is for FTX RC vehicle owners using the Vantage, Carnage, or Outlaw models who need to replace or maintain their shock system. The key benefit is restoring optimal shock performance and preventing leaks. A potential caveat is that these are specific upper O-rings, and ensuring correct fitment is crucial for function. This product provides a set of six upper O-rings designed for the shock absorbers of compatible FTX RC vehicles.

FAQs

How many O-rings are included in this pack?

This package contains 6 upper O-rings for the shock absorbers.

Which FTX models are these O-rings compatible with?

These O-rings are specifically designed for the FTX Vantage, FTX Carnage, and FTX Outlaw models.

Are these O-rings for the top or bottom of the shock?

These are specifically for the upper portion of the shock absorber.

Do I need special tools to replace these O-rings?

You will need tools to disassemble the shock absorber, which may vary depending on the specific model. Basic RC maintenance tools are usually sufficient.

How often should I check my shock O-rings?

It's recommended to check O-rings during regular maintenance, especially after aggressive driving or if you notice any leaks or performance issues.

Can I use these O-rings on other FTX models?

These O-rings are precision-fit for the specified models (Vantage, Carnage, Outlaw). Using them on incompatible models may result in poor sealing or damage.

Troubleshooting

Shock is leaking oil from the top

The upper O-ring may be damaged, worn, or incorrectly installed. Re-inspect and replace the O-ring, ensuring proper lubrication and seating.

Shock feels stiff or sluggish

Ensure the O-ring is not too tight or twisted, which can cause friction. Verify that the shock shaft moves freely after O-ring replacement and reassembly.

Inconsistent damping performance

Check that all O-rings on both shocks are replaced and installed correctly. Air trapped in the shock can also cause inconsistency; ensure proper bleeding procedures are followed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This O-ring set is specifically designed for the upper portion of the shock absorbers on the following FTX RC models:

  • FTX Vantage

  • FTX Outlaw

Always verify your shock assembly design to confirm these are the correct O-rings needed.

Setup (Installation):

  1. Carefully disassemble the affected shock absorber following your vehicle's manual or a trusted guide.
  2. Remove the old upper O-ring.
  3. Clean the O-ring groove and surrounding components.
  4. Lightly lubricate the new FTX O-ring with a silicone shock oil or appropriate lubricant.
  5. Install the new O-ring into the designated groove, ensuring it sits flat and is not twisted.
  6. Reassemble the shock absorber, ensuring all parts are correctly aligned and tightened.
  7. Refill and bleed the shock absorber with the appropriate shock oil.

Care:

  • Inspect O-rings periodically during maintenance, especially after hard use.
  • Store spare O-rings in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
