OK then I suggest asking Paul at ORB if he can CAD & 3D print some.

Hi SHY. I am currently upgrading my Boomerang inspired by your Hotshot. I have got the Supershot front suspension mountings, but I am not sure how long the shocks need to be. I understand the original Supershot had a lack of up travel in the front suspension, so I would think a shorter shock body would help. Can you help me with some information please? :D

Thx guys! It's DF-03 shocks. Any 4WD shocks would do really.

I dremeled away as much as possible under the car in order to increase ground clearance.

I run it on high grip carpet so I keep it fairly low and set up a bit stiff.
