Default RE: Backdraft 8e shocks question


ORIGINAL: edgeverse

Are the shocks for the Backdraft 8e propiertary or will any 1:8 buggy shocks be compatable?

I ask because I went to a track today, did a sweet jump and one of the shocks were leaking oil so I am assuming I need new ones.

Most 1/8th scale shocks will work or "fit" ie losi, mugen ect but they are $$$$$$ and you may have to chane the shock towers at least the rear because the BD shocks are short and the same length... and the 1/8 scale buggy shocks are big bore like BD but are diff sizes front and rear........ a few on youtube have messed around with other shocks on the BD do a search.
