Shocks feedback info

[toy4crawlin]

I have searched and found nothing pertaining to Shock reviews and or specs dimensions,.

Is there such a thread ?

If not why not list them here

Shock brand name:
Model name:
Compressed length:
Extended length:
Performance review:
rebuild parts availability:
Quality of Scale, 1-10. 10 being the best scale:

Anybody have info about these Two shocks ?
Hot Racing #TD12001
INtegy MSR11 108mm

FYI When shopping pay close attention to the dimensions, many times the inches do not match the mm, like the Integy's 108mm they are incorrect, they are 4 1/4" uncompressed.

Good idea, but why in the Wheels and Tire section??

BTW, my favorite shock is the Kyosho RT5 Velvet shock:

http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...-Cap-Shock-Set

No leaks, smooth as hell and will fit both Losi Gold size springs AND Mini springs......

Lengths:
Extended - 4.25"
Compressed - 2.75"

Not sure where else to put it and will be seen the most.


wow , yea those shocks look/sound great, and they should be for $56. !
You should look at RChobbies4life, they have awesome prices and nice customer support. !
MORE INFO on them:
Kyosho (japanese) KYOW5198v
46mm shock body
Used on the Ultima RT5 truck. Can also be used to upgrade the Kyosho Ultima SC and DB rear shocks. These are the 46mm extra long shock bodies and the set includes everything needed but the springs and shock fluid to build 2 shocks.




I like my Losi 2.0's found on 1/8 buggys

Thanks for the Review
what do you use them on ?

That's only for two! And yet, I still run them on 4 of my comp rigs (LCC, Bully, Berg and Super Bully). They are the smoothest shock I have ever used...

X2 on these shocks, they are butter smooth and never leakI have been running them for about a year.

Thanks for the info. I may have to try these out. Been running the Axial's for the last year or so with no problems but I'm always looking for something different.

Have a shock here that has larger spring 18.5mm bigger than Big bores
and is 117mm hole to hole uncompressed.
