Let’s consider a hypothetical situation. Let’s say one night, after you have just broken in your brand new nitro truck, you go out racing with your buddy instead of sleeping.

For this demonstration I will be rebuilding one of the HPI Blitz ESE’s stock shocks, however, most shocks are constructed in the same manner. If you are building the shocks for the first time you can skip the disassembly portion
