shocks for the S2
 

i'm hoping to get an S2 in the near future and currently have a b4 to use as a donor and have heard that people use losi shocks instead.

does anyone have a link or part number for a complete set or if i am barking up the wrong tree and there are other shocks that should be used can you let me know.

cheers guys

Shocks have to be bought in parts I am afraid Bill and are quite expensive, or try and find some second hand ones and rebuild.

As far as I know nearly everyone is using the Losi shocks on theirs.

cheers mate, i had assumed that there would be a thread already about this lol, just couldn't find the damn thing

setup has changed a little since then Bill, we now almost always use the #56 pitston in the front and rear piston will be either #55 or #56, this will be your choice really on which rear end setup you like most.

Ah bollocks! I forgot to check that... :D

How much of a biggie is it to use XX4 rear shocks & pistons? More droop that's all?

Don't do it. XX4 shocks are way too long. Uptravel is reduced as well!

As Elvo says, don't do it. It would handle really badly.

You would be better off with associated shocks than XX4. You need to get the

LOSA5055 Threaded Shock Body Set .9" x1
and
LOSA5064 Shock Shaft,1.0" Ti-Nitride x2

Use the XXXCR one's

the xx4 bodies are too long though, they will seriously limit the up-travel...

I will, I promise! :D

Are AE rear shock bodies/pistons different length as to 2- and 4WD as well?

No they're the same.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but, B4 rear shocks are the same as B44 rear shocks.

B4/B44 rear shocks are only a little shorter than the xxxcr rear shock. (LOSA5055 Threaded Shock Body Set .9" , LOSA5064 Shock Shaft,1.0" Ti-Nitride)

so let me get this straight, what i need is....

LOSA5055 Threaded Shock Body Set .9" x1
LOSA5054 Threaded Shock Body Set .6" x1
LOSA5064 Shock Shaft,1.0" Ti-Nitride x2
LOSA5060 Shock Shaft,.6" Ti-Nitride x2
LOSA5015 Double O-Ring Shock Cartridge x4
LOSA5079 Shock Ends & Cups (4) x1
LOSA5045 Shock Pistons #56, (4) x1
LOSA5047 Shock Pistons #55, (4) x1
LOSA2006 Swivel Balls .250 x1
LOSA5013 Shock Mount Bushings:All XXX x1


if it isn't can someone list exactly everything that i will need to get for a complete set of shocks....

cheers guys

Springs :p

damn it :p

i take it your advice about springs in the other thread is still up to date?

Also you want 2x each size of shock body ie; 2x.6 & 2x.9 four in all.
Paul.
Sorry did not see the word SET, it is late

i thought they came in packs of 2?

Correct, 1 pack = 2 threaded shock bodies and 2 threaded collars

Springs: front black, blue, green. rear: red, pink

nice one fella, thanks for all your help lads
