red shock collar replacements/alternatives?
is there a suitable replacement or retrofit for the spring collars on the vintage red shocks other than zip-ties?
I picked up a used car with 3/4 collars completely broken, and the 4th well on its way out.
Thanks!

Re: red shock collar replacements/alternatives?
Red Kyosho shocks are 10mm; the CRP ones won't fit. I'll be selling custom nylon replacements in about a week. Here's my initial thread on it: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=20293

Re: red shock collar replacements/alternatives?
As notorious as the red shock collars are for breakage, the black ones found on the Option House gold shocks aren't much better. I'd say more than 75% of the ones I've received from used shocks or parts lots were cracked, too. Associated RC10 white collars will work as substitutes but are just about as hard to find. ![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)

Re: red shock collar replacements/alternatives?
it'd be kinda pricey to get 4 of them, but this hpi shock parts tree has one clamping collar per tree (right side, in the middle). just as another option......

Re: red shock collar replacements/alternatives?
Don, thanks for the offer, but those are too big.
I will hold off on buying anything until ROH73 has the clamps made.
for now I am rocking zip-ties with fuel tubing. Not pretty but gets the job done.![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
