Kinda. Not the same exact same size but they do have the same stroke. That's just the stroke of the shock body though. The Macro Shock's shaft is shorter than a proper .56" shock shaft.

Also the internal seals are different and I can't say whether or not they're interchangeable.

Macro shock is the same .56 body. They use .35 shock shafts and foam bladder seals. The regular o rings will fit fine. You are talking about the ones that fit tc3/4 right?

I think the RC10L and some of the other 1/10 on-road cars use the Macro shock but not sure of the shock shaft length.

Many thanks for the replies.
These are the shock bodies I have in mind (Picture from an Ebay auction).
Plan is to do like jwscab and put it on a Yokomo.
