| The very first one will be 120mm long, 20mm diameter, 40mm travel. Shorter and longer one will be made afterwards. |

| yes, it is 20mm. At first I was thinking more making them for clod size crawler truck. So it will look very beefy. Tell me what you guys are looking for, I will see what I can do... |

| If a TLT sized shock was available, I would build a scaler just to use them. It's about time somebody did this! |

| Way to big, even for a clod or jugg.... I would like to see 12mm shocks for the clods and juggs, and 8mm shocks for the tlt's. |

| I don't like them. I don't run shocks like that in real life. They look like cheap factory shocks. FUGLY Why don't you make a real looking Coil-Over with Res or a Real looking Offroad shocks. Like these. These are want are ran in real life for a scale trail rig.    Last edited by run2jeepn; 09-18-2006 at 05:36 PM. |

| For real scale appearance, a longer Mini-T shock would be ideal. But those things leak worse than TLT shocks, and they're nowhere near strong enough; the shafts are only 2mm. What about a longer version of the Sand Scorcher shocks? 8mm OD with a 3mm shaft, with rubber bushings at each end, or ball links.  |

| i personally think that his proposed size is the problem... that diameter is no good. what about just turning down some tlt bodies and making a good seal and piston system for inside them???? |

| When I wrote 120mm long, 20mm diameter, 40mm travel. The 20mm is the overall diameter, not the shaft. This shocks doesn't have a shaft. It will be a unique shock, it uses a internal spring and has a 3 piece body. STANG KILLA SS, no we dont plan to produce plastic version. The price will be around $15-20 a pair. run2jeepn, once you see the production version, you wont think it is very cheap looking. I would like to get something like those Edelbrook shocks done too, but it will be very expensive to make. We already got our own tool to make make springs now, so sooner or later we will have a shock like that done. Just probably not so fast. microgoat or BlueMonster, can you guys give me the specs (Lengh, Overall Diameter, travel length) for a TLT-1 size shocks? 4stAir, our first shocks wont use a piston system. Next one will. Here is my updated specs for our very first clod crawler shocks: 100mm Length, Shock Body Diameter 20mm, Shock Travel 35mm. By the way what other stuff would you guys like to see being made, that is scale looking. It has to be aluminum, doing plastic in small quantity is not possible right now. |

| other stuff.... i want some "scaler" axle housings. i like the stuff you guys do, i think that new gear reduction is the ticket for my stealth comp rig. i am sure the shocks will look good. |
