Default help me finding longer shock shafts

hey folks I just bough some ckrc shocks used on the classified section like this ones and thinking to use them on my wraith build, but the ones I got are more like 90mm long instead of 100mm (maybe the previous owner wanted them shorter), well anyway the thing is that I would like to make them 110mm long but I havent had luck finding shock shafts longer than 55mm, my actual shafts are 50mm so 5mm are not gonna make difference, is there any shaft out there of 60, 65, 70mm that I can get?




Dont want to use the stock shafts because I planning to have 2 shock sets better
thanks in advance

You could always use longer rod ends on the shafts or do the rod end mod on the caps to get them a little longer.

Perhaps you accidentally got these instead:

There are a TON of shock shaft options out there. I have some shafts themselves that are 90mm:
Wraith 30mm Lift Kit

Best thing I could tell you is to pull the shafts out and actually measure them. If you get the me diameter and the length, I'll see what I have that might help you.

This is what I would do. Mod the cap and then run either a Revo or Jato rod end to get the length you want.

lucked up , yep it seems that I got those shorter shocks, not fault of anyone cuz the sale thread didnt said any on the size just the brand .. so, I will just make them longer, no need for 90mm shafts like your just some 65-70mm and Im done, I have searched already and nothing, by chance do you have a link where I can find some ? thanks


New2it & chud, I have seen that modification before but I have no idea how to do it, can you point me where i can check that modification?
I already have some traxxas rod ends to try it but they are not that long just 19mm.. the only think to take into account is that in this shocks the cap is not removable the only thing that is removable are the bottom screw "thingy" of the shock body so I think that make the modification bit different, right?
