Got the largest size and laser cut my own adaptor for 1:10 on-road shocks. I couldn't tell if the pump sounds changed when it was "done" since it was quite subtle so I had the button pressed for over two minuets for a 5 weight oil shock. But it got all the bubbles out.
Great for AE 74.1D shocks and differential no need adapter.
One amazing tool! Worth every penny in my book! You won't be disappointed!
Works well .. Love the carry case , little on the pricey side but It’s just like anything rc related
Still havent recieved yet even tho it was shipped over a month ago
Reviewers generally report that the Hudy Air Vac pump removes bubbles from shock oil and works well for shock and differential bleeding. One reviewer noted it worked on a 5-weight oil shock after a long button press, though the completion signal was hard to detect. Another used it with AE 74.1D shocks and differentials without an adapter, while a reviewer who had to laser-cut an adapter for 1:10 on-road shocks used the largest size. Praise includes the carry case, though one reviewer found the price high. One reviewer gave a low rating due to a shipping delay of over a month and had not yet received the product. Overall impressions are positive on performance, with the main recurring concerns being price and adapter fit.
