Factory Team Bleeder Shock Caps
New from Factory Team are these new bleeder shock caps, a cure for emulsion style (non-bladder) shocks that have been plagued by difficult bleeding procedures since their inception. Consumers, from beginner to pro level, have dealt first hand with the difficulty and mess that these shocks can create. Team Associated has addressed these concerns by creating Factory Team Bleeder Shock Caps to simplify the bleeding process.
New bleeder shock caps simplify the building of emulsion (non-bladder) style shocks.
- Using the bleeder caps ensures you have the exact amount of oil in your shocks every time.
- New shock cap design improves durability and includes a large seal surface for bleeder screw.
- Extremely easy to get all 4 shocks to have the same bound and rebound.
- Makes building and rebuilding emulsion shocks faster and more precise than ever before.
- More consistent feel between builds.
- Easy to adapt to weather changes.
- Since pressure increases inside the shock when the temperature increases, you can now bleed your shocks on your car in seconds without a huge mess.
- Uses 2-56 button head screw with .050” hex socket.
- Can be used on 1:10 vehicles using AE shocks, either Factory Team or RTR (on-road shocks will require the addition of ASC6469 – Shock Cap O-rings, sold separately).

Ohh, that’s what the weird hole thing on the top of the TRF shock is for!

Bingo!
But you have to drill a small hole into the bottom of the cap to open the channel…

I think Yokomo pioneered this feature on Assoc-style shocks. I’ve got some Yokomo shocks that are >10yrs old and have this feature :D Glad Assoc. is finally catching up :)

Yokomo part # YS-8. Old trick, but I still run them on my Associated shocks.
