they will be short. use the 1.32" kit, and it might come with 1.02" or 1.32" shafts. either case, there are spacers inside the shock bodies to compensate, so get the parts and check the manuals for either a b2, or an original rc10(not worlds).

i don't know what spacers show in the b2 manual, but with the original rc10 and using 1.32" shock shafts, you are supposed to run something like 5/8" internal spacers to limit shock travel.

That should work. The shock body is 1.32 but the shaft is 1.02, which is what the buggy's ran according to the manual for the B2.

If you buy a 1.32 shock kit it's gonna come with 1.32 shaft because that's what is used on trucks. Just install some spacer on the shaft or get 1.02 shaft separately.

.89 shock kits will come with .71 shafts. Unless they are for a b44, which have .80 shafts.

I just want to thank you guys for helping out a new member like you have. I really do appreciate all the info and I will get this B2 running just fine.

For the rear will these work, with spacer or getting a 1.02 shaft?

Team Associated Factory Team V2 Threaded Rear Shock Kit (1.32") ASC7480

If so will have to dremel a little clearance on the shock tower because of the spring adjuster on the threaded body?

will work fine, and no, no grinding necessary. just need to adjust your internal shock spacers to get the ride height correct.

Well I got this 21 year old car running with old school electronics. I am going to upgrade to modern radio, lipo and brushless at some point. ;)

Here are a few pics without the body, I need to strip the ugly white paint job and repaint. LOL

Are there any shock ends that fit the front of the B2 that don’t have a plastic pivot ball?
