The front arm piece is shiny are all the option parts going on one truck and you are building the other standard? or is it just for parts?

truck is almost done...not sure about the Losi "truck shocks" anymore...they are real long.. when chassi flats out, i have no more compression on the shocks at all ...

I use 1.2 house in the rear and same shafts, planing to go down to 1.0 shafts

front i use 0.9 and same shafts and they are way to long...im suing 4mm limiters and now i have a descent down travel..but chassi bearly flat out in the front when shocks are fully compressed...

Any tip? or other shocks ?

I have same problem with the rear shock on my buggy. Don't know the size, but its for buggy.
There are also limiter in the body... maybe if we use shorter shaft, that will work all good. I have to buy new shaft, I'll think about this.

Looking real nice...

Are you going to be able to fit the slipper cover...looks tight against that ball cup, did you say they were Losi ?...

Granted with a cool slipper disk like that you might not want to cover it hehe

I have replaced the stock rear springs with longer ones, which are even progressive springs.

If you like the standard plastic shocks then you will love these... Master Smacker Shocks...

I'm very impressed with them. I think they are the ones they show in all the photos actually...but don't get. They are better then some full alloy ones I've used and are only £9 for all 4!!

Really nice backup or bashing shocks...The caps are alloy and I have yet to have one pop off, if anyone wants to upgrade from the standard plastic mad rat shocks and not spend a fortune then these are the ones to go for...

The Ansmann X-Pro shocks are excellent btw... £50 for the full set with springs, or about £36 without springs.

A T4, which I assume you mean a Truggy version of the X4... is not in the 2010 catalogue...

But now that you have mentioned it I think I might grab a Blizzard and do a Truggy conversion for some quality bashing, can't be that hard. Would need to make a new front shock tower, probably use the Royal Flash (larger) shocks and get some nice 2.2 or 2.8 truck wheels and a Proline crowed pleaser 2 shell... job done, great idea

No, thomas means RC10T4, truck version of the B4

I think the shocks fit, but give losi shocks a chance

Thomas the Team C truck shocks are awesome you should just get those, they are pretty expensive I guess, but they are just as good as the Associated shocks or Losi's and they would both cost more. You might realise like I did it's just more sensible to buy the whole truck from rcmart

Here's the front shocks for the truck

And rear truck shocks
