Hudy 1/10 Off-Road "Air Vac" Vacuum Pump
About this part
The Hudy On-Road "Air Vac" Vacuum Pump is a handy, ultra-compact electric-powered vacuum pump for 1/10 Off-Road shocks. This high-quality premium device is manufactured and assembled by HUDY in Europe, and was developed to simplify your shock assembly routine, helping to quickly & easily bleed unwanted air bubbles from oil-filled shock absorbers and differentials. This electric powered pump is simple to operate using a strong & effective vacuum pump that is powered by 12V power supply or 7.2V battery (not included).
The main platform is fully CNC-machined from aluminum, and includes exchangeable shock/diff stands and a transparent plastic cover. The Air Vac also includes a 600mm connecting cable with gold-plated banana plugs and comes in a premium hard case for safe storage & transport.
NOTE: Losi 22 5.0 & 22X-4 Buggy rear shocks are too long and will not allow the vacuum to seal properly.

Works great and i dont know why i put off buying this.. it saves so much time!! Great quality!
I hesitated to purchase this for a few weeks cause of the price. But it works as advertised. Works perfectly. Great product and highly recommend. Works great on the diffs with high viscosities too.
Highly Recommended for Racers if you need to do a Shock Rebuild or change oil this will get the air bubbles out quick i use it on a 7.2V Nmih battery but for better Results use a 12v PSU that used for the high end chargers
Thought #1: Damn this is expensive. Thought #2: This is a time saver that makes the cost worthwhile. I had a manual pump set, replaced it with this for 3 times the cost. Sometimes Hudy price is best price.
All four reviewers are verified owners who rate the Hudy 1/10 Off-Road Air Vac Vacuum Pump 5 out of 5. Reviewers agree it works as advertised and saves considerable time, particularly when removing air bubbles from shock rebuilds and oil changes, including on high-viscosity diffs. Several note the price is high relative to manual pumps, but feel it is justified by the time saved. One reviewer reports using it on a 7.2V NiMH battery and suggests a 12V power supply for better results. No reviewer reports a recurring problem. The sample is small, so these views may not represent all owners.
