whatsup RCU!!!

ive been runing some losi shocks on my slash for some time now and love em.

But... i never mounted the bottom correctly.

Losi use a different size ball end, and its does not fit in the front arms.

What im wondering...

Can I fit the RPM shock end made for the slash to the losi shocks, they look the same

Will the RPM slash Shock Shaft Guards fitthe losi springs???

I couldent wait
well i just ordered Shock Shaft Guards RPM 80402

by the looks they come with new shockends, I just need to fit some traxxas balls to them.

Do you have the stock slash shocks? See if the slash shock ends fit on the losi shocks.

Bugger, oh well I hope they fit for ya, they look pretty cool.

I got the RPM Shock Shaft Guards the other day. So far im happy, The end are more secure and look stronger. the best part is the spring retainer can not rotate like the stock unit, so the springs are less likely to turn and move the pre load nut.

So anyone wondering YES the RPM Shock Shaft Gards for the Traxxas Slash will hold Losi springs.

Yes.
Yes.
Yes.

One of the big misunderstandings people seem to have, especially with these Short Course Trucks, is that you can't use the shocks and springs from one truck on another.When in fact the biggest determining factor is the overall length of the shock, the mounting ends, and the diameter of the shock body themselves.
The ironic thing I found long ago was that literally every shock being used on literally every 2wd SCT out there was within a millimeter or so in length of every other one out there, didn't matter if it was a Slash or a SC10 or a Blitz or a XXX-SCT or a SC-R..

Here's a pic of the RPM Slash dust guards being used on the new TLR 22SCT.
(the diameter of the springs are roughly the same, as is the ball end/mount, the exchange was quick and easy)
