Default replacement shocks

so i bought the rcbros shocks for my mrc and was kinda disappointed with how fat they are, was hoping they would be the same size as the stock ones since they are supposed to be " replacement"


does anyone make a set of shocks that are the same size as the oem, and if so are they ant good?

thanks

I use the losi alum shocks...had to teflon tape both ends of the tube though...

They do have a picture comparing their shock to a stock plastic one right on the page you bought them from...Pretty sure the only place I see the word replacement is talking about the pistons and springs for their shocks...

i guess i didn't go to that page, i see that now that you pointed it out, i was on the one that didn't have the comparison picture. when it says shocks are a perfect fit for your stock or upgraded MRC, i assumed they were the same. o-well my bad for not doing my research.

so is losi the only ones out there that are the same?

what you do is put a long screw with a nut on the end and fuel tubing on the screw so the shocks go over the fuel tubing and they can flex but you can get them to stick out father so the fat part dont matter
