Default 60mm to 65mm threaded body aluminum shocks

Anybody know of any? The only thing I am finding are Yeah Racing ones.

I would think the Minis, Rallys and some of the touring cars would sue them in this range.

That is what I am looking for these for but they are not threaded body aluminum shocks nor are there any optional ones I can find. So I am looking elsewhere.

Thanks.

Tamiya sells the best quality threaded aluminum touring car shocks I've ever used. I ran them on almost every touring car I ever raced (12+ years of carpet racing). TAM53571 is the part number for the flourine coated ones I always ran. Should be a 4 pack of them for around $40-$50.

exactly! these are the shocks that we all used when we build the first scalers using the K2-3 and K2-5 chassis.

That part number does not cross to tamiya or anything else I can find. Thanks for the info though.

That is a valid part number for tamiya. A simple google search found these.

Tamiya 42102 is the newer set that comes on the full option TA05, 416, etc.

Truthfully, any touring car shock is going to get you in that length range, and you can fine tune length with different shock shafts.

I know the stock Traxxas nitro 4-tec ones are 60mm (I have a set). But they are plastic body.

60mm between center of eyes.
