Default TRX-4 shocks number designation?

Could someone with a TRX-4 check the shock ends of their rig, and see if there's a number on them... I bought take-offs on the fleaBay and since they are assembled already, with oil and everything.... I'm curious which are fronts and which are rears.

1 pair has a "1" and the other has a "2"...

It'd be much appreciated!

I will when I get home if somebody doesn't get to it by then.

Are they Tactical or Defender take offs? The tactical uses the same spring rate front and rear whereas the Defender uses stiffer springs in the rear.

Can't find a number on them on a quick look, but the rear springs of the defender rtr are marked green.

On a closer look i found the numbers on the rods but that won't help you all my 4 shox have number 1 so the color marker on the springs is the way to go

Thanks guys! Loads of responses.... Couldn't ask for more! I'm also at work right now, but I will at least know which ones to install where now... Testing them on my Ascender K10, with multiple shock locations on the Boom Racing mounts.

I don't see any numbers. Are you seeing them on the top or bottom end?

No stripe goes in the front and the green goes to the rear.

edit: oops, I just seen magic_yeti's post above.

Gotta pic - no stripes on springs - number on bottom rod-ends - guessing they are Tactical take-offs:

Is there any difference between the stock shocks and the GTS ones other than colors? Look the same.

The photo of the Tactical shows green springs in the rear here: https://traxxas.com/products/landing...-Gallery-4.jpg

Here are the PDFs to the front and rear. Interestingly, the rear shows the shock parts breakdown, but the front does not.
