Hi Everyone, I've got something a little different for you today.

I'm looking for some very specific information for a project i am working on - the construction of a 1:6th scale Curiosity Mars Rover. So I am not having to custom fabricate everything, I am intending to use stock components from other sources, and right now I am working on the suspension system of the rover.

Unlike in a car where you have roughly 25% sag and 75% compression when the car is sat stationary, I need the shocks to be at 50/50 point, so I have even extensions and compression.

I've not been able to find a website that states the stroke length of the shocks, since everything is based on model type/scale/shock location etc.

So I'd like to know what the stroke length is on all the stand shock sizes.

Another way to look at it is I need one type of shock that is at 50% compression when its ~60-70mm long (Like a Tamiya M Type), and another when its 110mm long (Like a Crawler Shock).

So, hopefully a few of you don't mind getting out a rule and giving their shocks a quick squeeze.

Thanks for reading - E
