shocks
I have cleaned my rc10 and replaced the oil in the shocks to find that two of them leak.. does anybody know what size the o ring is or where to get them? (if you need a picture of the shock let me know)

Re: shocks
Rebuild kits are still available... new top and bottom O-rings included. If your shocks are "bottom-load," you won't be able to use the little O-ring clips in this kit, but the O-rings themselves should be the same size.

Re: shocks
I recently rebuilt some bottom load shocks with the O rings from the rebuild kit. Shafts were rather pitted in my case so I replaced them at the same time and all is now fine.

Re: shocks
I've noticed the orings have changed size over the years, they seem to have gotten larger, or looser on the shaft.
Check the shaft for scratches, make sure you dont over fill the shocks and use green slime on the seals.
