DIY - Stock Raptor 2.5 Shock Rebuild.

[m3dragon]

Finlay had a chance to rebuild the 3.0 DSC shocks. Nothing to crazy in regards to rebuild.

Also the DSC side is a pretty trick setup as you will see in the image.

I also while it was apart did a little "custom" finish to protect the remote unit. I think it came out kind of cool HAHA.

Just did a set of Icon 3.0 with CDC last night and the insides look very similar.

Thought I'd throw this idea out there. Mostly so @t_j doesn't mistake his hand for a shock again. Just made it from some spare parts in the shop.

So I actually picked up the fox safety needle its a spring loaded self retracting needle assembly.

So one major difference is with needle, instead of having the gas opening at the end it is on the side and the point is a nice smooth point. This will help a lot as the needle will not remove a core of the rubber plug when it's inserted meaning that new plugs should be need much more infrequently.

That Guage is maxed out at 250. Seems rather dagerious don't you think?

Cool idea though.

AHAHAHA. Well OK then.

We just use the gauge and set it at the tank with a ball valve lever. Cheaper than your option and you can turn it on and off LOL.

Is this the short or long needle version?

This is the one sdhq sells so I guess it would be the long needle version

Thanks @t_j

I have a couple sets to rebuild so might as well make an excuse to buy more tools.

What's everyone using for nitrogen bottles?
