Just installed big bore shocks onto my monsoon! Can't wait to test it out. Here are some pics of my monsoon and of the big bore shocks.

Hey those look good. What are they from? I might want to get me a set.

I took them off of my Robitronic mantis. They bolted right up but I still used the shock mounts on the towers from my mantis instead of the monsoon because the monsoon has the shock cap mounted on a bushing instead of a ball joint so I thought it would be better. You can find sets of 4 big bores on ebay, alot of them for sale are for the new Hyper st pro and are a good price and should fit too. They are the 14mm big bore shocks and not the new 16mm that are out on some new stuff.

Redcat Nick

Do you have a link. just figured that since you have them it would be easier than trying to find them

no ! these are big bores!! kyosho bb's

Yes NOW those are the big bores but the 14mm were the big bores up untill the st-rr and new jammin came out with the 16mm, Those should be considered the super big bores

Also I am in the process of selling some stuff to get the new ST-RR too. That thing is awesome!

Redcat nick as far as a link I am assuming a link to buy the shocks complete as a set of 4? I will try and find a link for you.

Yea man you win! What did you get those off of? they are massive!

vnmsgt

Those are Huge! My friend has a LST2. have any more pics of it? It looks pretty cool.

Here is a set you have to build. This is all I can find now. It is a set of two. These are 120mm ones but I think they make 130mm ones too. Not sure which ones are stock, you would have to find out.

i made mine, they are the aftershock shocks. i cut the shock shaft and the shock bodies to fit, the shaft you need to retap it so the ball end can screw back on. it was simple once you got all the measurements. but before you start and cut a good pair of shocks, make sure they will fit. the shocks after they were fit to size i only have about less than a mm before they rub the axles.

You have those on a thunder tiger? I thought you had a LST2? That is awesome! Never seen another brand truggy with the losi shocks before. Do they work good for you?

jombo

so far all i can do is watch the weather [:'(] untill it warms up a bit i cant break her in . but i can drop it at 6 ft and it dosent bottom out...... much

i like the stock losi's, i think they are 16mm and do an awesome job. haven't had to change juice either in a few months.

The Cen Matrix Tr say they have 16.5mm Shocks.

Just ran my monsoon tonight and the bigger shocks made a big difference over the rough stuff, it was alot smoother and also the thinner shock fluid felt good too.

lol tell me about the CT weather, snow and ice storms over here in the norwich area, I hate the weather around here! Good thing my warhead is in pieces for its impending engine swap to a Sportwerks .26 v2 and monsoon is in pieces for maintenance and modifying or i might be really mad lol
