Biggest SINGLE upgrade

Get some x-rings for your shocks. They fix the leaky... I would get some nice wheels and tires! Axial hit a home run and this kit is fantastic out of the box.

This is a must.I built the kit and it was stting on a stand,no electronics yet,so it wasn't used,still 2 out of 4 shocks where leaking.So i did get the traxxas xring and fit them together wth one oring.Hope that does the trick.Will let you know how it does

To keep the shocks from leaking, I used a Traxxas shock rebuild kit (TRX2362) that comes with four blue x-rings; enough to build all four Axial Icon shocks. It takes some work to manipulate the x-ring into the Icon shock body opening. Lot's of Green Slime makes this task easier. I then cut a piece of Teflon plumber's tape, fold in half and wrap the top of the shock body.
