shock question???

Post by PBR Allstar » Sun May 04, 2008 6:29 pm

so when associated lists their shocks they give a length i.e. .56 .89 1.02 etc. is this length of the shocks stroke? or something else?

secondly, which rc10's used which lengths?

It's the length of available stroke inside the shock body or of the shock shaft. You'll notice on the B4/T4 that the shock bodies are a little longer (1.18 vs 1.02 for example). That's to give the piston room at the top of it's stroke ensuring it stays in the oil.

Can't really help you on the 'which cars have which shocks' question though, sorry.

First post

So I started in building a T2 that I got NIB . It is, in fact, mostly NIB, except for the rear shocks. Looks like someone took the original rear shock parts out, and dropped in a set of pretty well used ones.

Not a huge deal, as I'm planning on...

they could be a number of different manufacturers, but are probably losi or traxxas, both have larger spring diameters than associated.

if the spring rates are close to right for your truck, there is no real issue running different spring...

So, I got a nice t4 that was run on road from what I could tell. Been sourcing some decent stuff to get it into “truck” form again. So, it came with the stock shocks. Not bad units, but I was hoping to add some newer big bores possibly. I could not...

Can someone explain the difference in trailing axels vs. the T4 regular axels?

The first versions of the B/T4 had traditional front axles and bearings in the wheels, which had trailing (vs inline) caster blocks. Later models used hex wheels, also...

First post

would the b4 front shocks be too long for the front of a yz10?

Last post

Anybody know if any of the Losi shocks would be a good fit for the 870/YZ-10? Front and Rear. Those stock Yoke shocks are the one part of the car that I really dislike!

I have just built up 4 gold shocks with black plastic tops and the instruction sheet looks like they use regular old shock oil but I want to know if I can use the silicone oil as I don't have very much regular 30wt and silicone fluid is readily...

Last post

If you lube up the o-rings really well with Green Slime or an o-ring sealing lube then the silicone shouldn't break that down and get to the seals.

any of you guys that have one, could you let me know the lengths of the front and rear shocks? from the center of the shock cap hole to the center of hole in the rod end, fully extended.

thanks in advance. :mrgreen:

Last post

The shock bodies are 0.16 longer in the rear and 0.18 longer in the front, the use 1.02 shafts in the rear and 0.71 shafts in the front. I would imagine that if you just added the extra shock body length to an existing set of 1.02 rear shocks and...

First post

I picked up a Cougar KC recently (love it!) and was wondering if the u4209 alloy vented shock caps would fit my shocks?
Not a big fan of the stock plastic ones, my 22X4 improved greatly when I upgraded it's shock caps to the alloy vented ones....

Thanks so much for your help! I'm goin' shoppin'...
