| Long arm lift kit shock length?
Wondering what the length of the shocks in Traxxas long arm lift kit are? Extended and compressed. Are they just regular GTS bodies with longer shafts or are they longer bodies too?

I got just the springs for a different project, and they are around 20mm longer than the normal ones. Also in the manual Traxxas refers to them as ''Long Aluminum GTS Shocks'', so they should be longer than the normal ones https://traxxas.com/sites/default/fi...0OM-EN-R01.pdf |

Ya, I know the springs are longer. and the overall length is longer. But what I really need is for them to have more travel, without the spacer on the shaft bottom, than the stock TRX4 shocks. I have to order online, I can't really go see in person at my LHS. It's 2.5hrs away

Uncompressed, eye-to-eye, 112mm Compressed, eye-to-eye, 76mm The bodies are longer, and the shafts are longer. I reckon the bodies are 10-12mm longer than stock GTS, as the shafts are 10mm longer (57mm for long, 47mm for regular GTS.) |

Here's an "interesting" inquiry...and one that (hopefully) at least a few people should be about to provide answers for. The standard GTS shocks have a length of 90mm extended, & 65mm compressed, with 25mm of travel. The long-arm version has a 112mm extended, & 76mm compressed length, thus 36mm of travel. What I'm interested in knowing are the "mix n match" lengths. What are the extended & compressed lengths if using the standard bodies & long arm shafts? Likewise, what are the extended & compressed lengths if using the long arm bodies & standard shafts? I'm working on a VS4-10 Phoenix, except I'm using the aluminum Currie F9S axles from the Pro kit. Instead of using the shocks included in the Phoenix kit, I had planned on using GTS shocks...except, they're too short. Unfortunately, the long arm version may be too long...which led to my "mix n match" idea. So, can anyone provide the extended & compressed lengths of these two mix n match configurations? ~ More peace, love, laughter, & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place |
