Yep, I sure wish others would continue on with what Yokomo has done, or did...

I've noticed x-rings being looser on some of my shocks as well. It was a big stink years ago with another RC and it's leaky shocks. Problem was, just as you described, not enough "squish". The x-rings were not grabbing shock shaft tightly. Even with company shock seal package fix (adding...
