|  Reservoir Shocks for Scale Project
Well guys, I am now going to attempt my first Scaler. I will post up as I go but here is my first request... I am looking for scale looking remote reservoir shocks. I have seen them around on some rigs. Not sure if they are homemade or what. I was thinking that I could use fuel tubing and some alum tubing for the reservoirs but thought that if they were made, I could go that direction. Thanks John |

Those RC4wd ones are HUGE! I had same and sold em. If you wanna make a real nice set contact the scale guru: 1BJB. But what I think guys are doing are usind turned down tlt's and making a fake resevoir and soldering the braided cable like obijuan said. What body are you using or is it the sniper? | |
