hey guys i just bought an inferno ve and love it...other than the fact that i already bent a shock shaft. been doin some research and everyone points to the odonnell big bore shocks for it but im aprehensive on ordering them. no one has given any indication that they work or not or fit or not. to further my frustration i cannot find any info anywhere one what shocks will work with my buggy and i cant even compare lengths and sizes after measuring mine because no one gives any specs so i cant really buy in pieces. i thought about just biting the bullet and buying the kyosho big bore but according to their specs they arent the same as what i have now so im kinda stuck with a non functioning buggy that i have had for 36 hours (i ran it into my roomate....didnt see him)....okay so here we go. the part number for the rear is ODOC2675 its from the odonnell z01-b buggy and people say it will work but i dont have any confirmation. now comes the tough part. the front they no longer make a "kit" for it so i figured maybe the truggy set which is ODOC2698. any info would be greatly appreciated cuz im anxious to get this thing back up and running

ive seen them on the<meta charset="utf-8">inferno ve before. they work great. i used to run for O'donnell and they make one of the best shocks you can buy and they are cheap. now on the front, the truggy ones are far longer, they are even longer than the rear on the buggy. also make sure you get Z01B team shocks because the SG rear shocks are shorter. to get the front you will have to order them in pieces. they discontinued them because there was going to be a running change on the front shocks and thats still in the process due to hobbico and O'donnell splitting.

hope this helps some.

awesome thank you for the info sir...i was gonna buy them in pieces but they dont have a seal kit on towers website but they have everything else for the z01b fronts ...so the z01b rears will indeed fit? if you know where i can get a seal kit...wait it just dawned on me that the z01t shocks are just longer so the z01t seal kit should work on the z01b front frankenstien kit correct?

here is my shopping cart on tower can anyone see if im missing anything? http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wto0149p

yes, you want the Z01B Team shocks, the SG shocks are different. and yes, for some reason they have always only listed the shock seal kit for the Z01T but its the same as the buggy and actually the same as their 13mm shocks also.

i cannot view your cart. but you need this for the front shocks:
Shock bodies,
shock shafts
shock ends
shock cartridges (aluminum if you can)
17mm shock pistons (not 16mm)
shock seal kit
shock cap (aluminum if you can)
also need the screws for shock shaft and snap ring

i think thats all you'll need, also you may need the shock stand offs, but the ones you have already may work also.

just addded info: Blue springs=soft , greysprings= medium, and whitesprings=hard

<meta charset="utf-8">LXWDT1 - is correct
<meta charset="utf-8">LXUPK2 - is 13mm shocks , you need<meta charset="utf-8">LXWZE0[/b],</meta>[/b]
<meta charset="utf-8">LXUPL0 - 13mm shock shafts (have used them in a pinch before tho)
<meta charset="utf-8">LXUPU7 - is correct (dont need these if sense your getting LXUPK9)
<meta charset="utf-8">LXWDX7 - is correct
<meta charset="utf-8">LXWDY5 - is correct
<meta charset="utf-8">LXWDY7 - correct
<meta charset="utf-8">LXWDY3 - correct (i dont think you will ever use blue, they are to soft IMO)
<meta charset="utf-8">LXUPK9 - correct

[/b]
ill try to figure out the other parts you need that are for 13mm, they changed up part numbers and such and right now parts are a little limited because hobbico and OD split.
