If you have some to measure please PM me
Thanks so much!!

Kyoshos' website has it listed, but they are "industry standard" buggy length-

Thanks, I found out the fronts were too high and the rears too short. What industry standard? They are all different
Anyway I decided to stick with retro and go for old Kyosho Golds. Well I have the rears anyway, so halfway there.

How much too long or short? I think differences up to 5mm or so are easily changed by adding spacers inside the shock pistons and/or changing ball ends. You can increase a shock length even more easily just by changing the ball ends.kink wrote:Thanks, I found out the fronts were too high and the rears too short. What industry standard?

I am now just getting the retro shocks I want then getting custom carbon fibre towers made to match them perfectly. So it is not an issue.
But also I decided I should stick to a retro theme, or it would be too mix and match. So the theme is retro hop up's.
