atv_motocross#38

Yes, I want them for my Aftershock. Are [link=http://www.losi.com/Products/Features.aspx?ProdId=LOSB2879]THESE[/link] shocks threaded?

2DMaxLST!!

Yes, they are threaded.

I am thinking im going to build my own. Is shock oil expencive? And how do you put the oil in it? Do you just fill it up?

nitrorcjunkie

No, shock oil is not expensive, about 3 bucks a bottle. You'll need 3 bottles to fill your shocks, with a little left over. Yeah, you just remove the caps and fill them up.

ravenlunatic

what's with all the gold? are plastic shock caps poor quality? also do the gray shock body differ the blue shock body in any way?

ravenlunatic

dude, check ebay... i bought all four of those shocks brand new for 45 bucks. the price on that link would cost you like 130 bucks!

What about [link=http://www.hot-racing.com/?partnumber=LST255R06&c=160]THESE[/link] ones? Are they threaded, strong, functional reservoirs, and would you recommend them?

Grits

I have yet to hear of a functional piggyback shock in the rc world. full size piggyback shocks generally have a piston in the resevoir and use either a spring or nitrogen on the side/end farthest from the oil. It is the action of the piston transfering oil in and out of the shock body that cools and reduces foaming. Without this action the resevoir or piggyback is pretty much useless and extra weight. They are good looking units for shelf queens and show trucks though. Google it if you disagree.

So are the hot racing one any good?

Sugafree

Hot Racing & Integy Both Make Bling Bling Parts for Shelve Queens...........

If you want the Best Shocks get the Losi hard-anodized shock body set with some Blue Aluminum Shock Caps


Over 3 Years of Use and Still going strong.......

How is that axial treating you? Is it a .32?

Sugafree

I Sold that Truck before running the Engine, They Guy that Bought it Wasn't Impressed with the Axial 28RR and Put a Mach 427 back in it........(I haven't heard of too Many Peeps that Like the Axial in LST's)

atv_motocross#38

Yeah, i havent heard much good either.
