So this is where the system was leaking in air like a pregnant lady leaks after drinking 10 pints of water

Problem is that the brass bit does not have any orings in it, and there was a fair bit of play between it and the shaft. So some PTFE tape was wrapped around and an o-ring placed over it inside as it was leaking mostly at full extension, so the o-ring does at least provide a seal at that point.

Bled the brakes, fitted the linkage up. Trimmed the rollcage and shell to suit and jobs a good un, First proper run since fitting the I-RC chassis on and i managed to leave rubber from my front tyres embedded into the local tennis court :lol:
