The axial piston is thinner so if you want to use the losi piston on the Axial shaft you have to sand it down thinner to fit inbetween the e-clips. With the shocks setup like this you can achieve a 2.75" belly clearance. Add your favorite wait oil and springs and you will have one of the best shock setups around.

The prob with this is the Losi shocks have a .129" shaft and the axials are .118". The shocks are gonna leak.

I have been running the Axial shafts in my Losi bodies for 1 month with no leakage. That includes 1 comp and alot of couch and pillow indoor crawling in the house.

X2. No problems with the axial shafts. I did switch to the Losi cups because the Losi springs have a larger ID and slip out of the stock cups.

well so far the losi shocks work awsome ill have to try the shock locations you guys have them set at. if i need to raise it ill just throw on some other rod ends longer ones.....i crawled wit htem yesterday and at first i could not get used to the low clearence, but after 20 mins or so i got the hang of them but i would not mind at least 2.0-2.5" of clearance....well se where it goes..why my brain was not functioning on mounting locations......after i get back from this weekend ill hit up the lhs to get some screws and do the longer uppermounting bolts...but it has massive articulation its amazing how well it works ill post up some pics of the new mounting locations
