Associated .71 bottom load shocks?

Post by nvxwax »

Ok i have been looking for .71 Bottom Load shocks forever. I found a new set on ebay awhile back, They were listed as new shocks with no size on the pack, they ended up being .71 bottom load.

My next step to finish my sprint car projects is to look for cars that actually came with .71 BL shocks. So my question is what version of RC10 did the .71 Bottom Load shocks come on?

yep, all shock shafts for associated are 1/8" OD, fits all the bodies they make for 1/10 scale. The shock body style doesn't matter, they are almost identical in length bottom vs top load, just the method of holding the seals in place changed.
