|  functional scale shocks
I'm building a scale truck using leaf springs and RC4WD axles. Could anyone recommend a set of shocks that look scale (no internal spring) and function as a shock ? From what I can see the RC4WD scale shocks use internal springs, but no oil dampening so they wouldn't serve any shock function. Thanks |

I know you said no internal spring, but these work great. I use them in my Axial scx10. They are oildamped. http://www.junfac.com/shop/index.php...d9ee5bb4f0abc8 |

Thanks, yes I've seen these. They look nice, but too large in diameter to be scale. Still looking. |

If you want skinny shocks like fox air shocks, you will have to make your own. No one make SKINNY shocks, i have read that tlt shocks turned on a metal lathe look kinda real

What about bruiser/mountaineer shocks? I think they look more scale than the rc4wd shocks.

These are Hot Racing MRC shocks. Compared to an 80mm rc4wd scale shock. I filed the shock cap down and filled them with oil. This picture is pre-filing.  Installed  Last edited by pardonmyn00b; 01-21-2010 at 10:30 AM. |
