Did they just stop rebounding one day or did you do some kind of work to the shock e.g. change shock oils, change pistons etc? If you give us some kind of background about the problem it might help us solve your it.

These shocks are completely stock. One day they just stopped rebounding so now i have no idea what to do.

OK remove one of your shocks and try and trouble shoot it.Could be that your springs have relaxed a little bit and lost some their tension. It's unavoidable and it happens to all springs. Just that some relax quicker than others.

Does the Muggy drive any differently? If it still handles well then I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just check your shocks and make sure they're in proper operating order and go out and give 'er! The shocks on both my 1/8 racers barely rebound when compressed. After a while they'll return to "neutral". But it takes a minute or two.

So just make sure the shocks aren't broken, put the shock oil of you r choice in there, bleed the shocks and go out and burn some nitro!

Wow you sound like you kno alot...i will try that too but BTW how do you properly put the right amount of oil in the shocks...i want to do it properly!!

I doubt this is it but try oiling the O-rings at the bottom of the shock body. They should get lubricated on their own but if for some reason they're not that could restrict the shocks by catching the shaft instead of sliding on it.

just fill the oil right to the top. with the cap off. move the shock shaft up and down in the body. it might go down a bit. if it does fill it to the top again. this process will eliminate the air bubles in your shocks. keep doing it till its perfect. put the body cap back on. then try to push the shock shaft into the body. there should be a difference. also when you take it apart. look at the shock piston. if it is bent or cracked. i suggest get a new one. will help the cost of wear and tear. anyways, put the springs in place then put the shock boot back on. you can do 1 shock at a time or you can get wheel that your not using and stck them up in to 2 a pile and use that to hold your shock body up. i do it and it works for me.

Here is my two cents,make sure you a arms are not broke or the a arm pins are not bent in any way that will restrict the movement.One thing that I had a problem with once is one of my shocks received a ding in the resevoir causing it to stick.Good luck.
