Identification of shocks on a rc car!

Post by HeyHey »

Hello,

I am new here. I have several vintage RC Cars (RC10, RC10 Gx, Losi etc) and I would like to know the origin (brand) of the shocks
of this car (the car is a Losi Jrx2 but the shocks are not original ones).

Thanks in advance!

Someone will swoop in with a definitive answer with bore and stroke specs, but given the collars and lower mounts, those are Associated shocks maybe from a GT truck or some "sport" or "team" model? :oops:
Hope you're doin' something fun.

Thanks for your reply! The collars and lower mounts are indeed from RC10 Team Associated but the body I don't know. These shocks are maybe a mix.

They look like RC10T3 shock bodies and caps. The RC10B3, B4, and T4 had similar blue parts. But the blue aluminum caps (not the later black plastic) with the long shock bodies in the front make me think T3. Or it could be RC10GT RTR shocks.

They could be a mix, but with the collars and lowers with the spring diameter on those bodies....I still think AE of some variety. It was pretty common to have the anodizing wear with heavy use, so I think those are correct springs for those bodies. Again, a master level AE nut will pin it down here at some point.
Hope you're doin' something fun.

The cups and collars are AE but the shocks are not. They have no hex under the cap. They're possibly Parma (I think they may have sold a blue shock like those but not 100%), or re-ano'd Duratrax or Kyosho golds. Could also be off some Bluebird model I don't know about.
