ID help...

Post by Jay Dub »

I recently picked up a few sets of shocks. Wondering what they are? VERY similar to Kyosho golds. Better machining and quality (from what I remember) than Duratrax. What gives them away is the plastic parts are shiny, and the spring cups are of a different design. They are very nice, but I don't remember any other Kyosho knock-offs. Any help appreciated. -Jeff

Thanks, but no need, I found them on e-bay (nip), and they are Duratrax. -Jeff

Hard to tell from the pics, as the differences are subtle. However, if you remove the caps, the duratrax ones have a conical shape on the inside for material removal, and the kyosho ones have a more stepped version. Also, the Duratrax shocks have mush larger bladders. -Jeff
