Front shocks

Post by AYKBOBCAT »

Just a quick question... are the buggy front shocks 1.02?

What do I need to complete those?

I already have shafts, pistons and caps... If I just buy I rebuild kit like this one is it sufficient? I mean is it the proper rebuild kit?

Oh and what would the rear shocks be then?

What are the 1.02 made for?

1.02's are standard front truck shocks. but can be used on the rear of the buggies to level out the arms without adding a bunch of spacers. if you have a tall front tower, you can use them on the front, also.

depending on which rc10 you have, original, or 6 gear ce and up, they could be either the .56's or the .71's.

Sounds like there was a chick @ associated that came up with that method. They are always into the size of shafts instead of what that shaft can do and how well it does it.
