Blue shocks

Post by **RC Chick** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 5:07 am

Does anyone know if another brand of shocks that are blue fit on the RC10?

Old school. Traxxas had some on the TRX1, but they aren't easy to find and expensive when you do. Losi had some on the XXX Spec.... they are a direct replacement for the JRX2 to XX4 shock bodies. New School... I don't keep up with those too much.

yes and no, you will have to play with external/internal spacers to make them work properly, especially the rear ones.

Yeah the rears on my B4 are about 5mm shorter overall with shorter bodies so you may need to get longer shafts? Fronts have the 0.86" body like the B2-B3 but seem to have longer shafts, fibrelyte make a front tower to suit those shocks I think. Or you can also get 1.02" shocks for the front from the T4 RTR.

I can't find any RTR blue shocks at tower. all I keep finding is the grey olored ones. I found some duratrax ones these are the specs. will they fit length wise. Length: 3.375"/ 85.725mm they are from the evader bx

heres the .89 front bodies. i can't find any new kits. you should use a taller front tower with these, though.

pic of the front tower?
Im almost thinking I might use the stock lazer zx5 shocks they are blue and black I have a set already. Think they'll work?

one of our members makes these on occasion for the .89 shocks.

as for the zx5 shocks, i have no idea. all you can do is try them.

cool, I hope he does before May. I need one. I think those zx5 shocks will work but it sure would help with that shock tower. only measured they by sight and they are a tad longer than the stock gold ones.

T4's use 1.39 shock bodies though so the compression travel is limited unless you make a shock tower with a higher mounting hole.
