Default Baja 5B shocks

Hey guys. I had this idea for a long time but I got no money. Do you think the rear shocks from an HPI Baja 5B would work on an LST? I mean they're really long and could get you some good travel and I think they might even be lighter since Losi shocks a real beefy and what not.

I think it'd be a Down Grade........The LST's already have some of the Best Shocks in the RC Game

I agree ! If your not happy with the stock setup just change the springs and oil too suit your terrain and driveing style .

I like the setup on my truck, but the 5B shocks was just a concept.

hey man you got some good looking ttrucks, Ihave just got through building an aluminium savage with the lst2 shock kit from Fast Lane Machine. I have a lot of weight now with the aluuminum, and Iwould go to 5B front shocks, shorter than the rear, but the prblem with that is the balls in theh shocks on the 5B are bigger with a bigger screw, I am trying to figure out a way to lount them. I need 8 screw with a big end to go threw the ball and have small threads to fit in to the a-arms and shock towers. or I could take the 5b balls out and rig some way to mount them. If ANYONE can help me please let me know what to do, would thank you greatly

thanks oh heres some pics of my truck:
