I can find a 0.9" shock body but no shock shafts. Only 0.6", 1.0" and 1.2"

The xxx cr uses a 1.2" shock body with a 1.0" shaft.....

o.6 in the front with a 0.6 body
1.0 in the rear with a 1.0 body
this is what the xxxcr comes with as standard
the 1.2 bodies only come on trucks and the xx4

hope this helps

You'll be needing...

Front
0.6" Body - A5054
0.6" Shaft - A5060

Rear
0.9" Body - A5055
1.0" Shaft - A5064

And as Lee mentioned earlier in the thread, you'll be best to start with RED pistons all round and 32.5wt up front and 27.5wt in the rear.

Hope this helps

Here in the U.S. we are finding that the X - 6 Squared is very much a set it and forget it car. Get it feeling right for you and you'll start with that everywhere.

Very small adjustments here and there for different tracks, lay-outs, and conditions, but basically the same.

Are the red pistons pink in colour........??? mine are...

The back end feels very soft with losi shocks. Softer than any car ive ever ran. Got 25 weight oil in, Is this right....???

Hi,

yes pink = red.

I've had this discussion with Ellis, personally I think over the MANY years of losi shock production there is a tolerance on the anodising. I know that on the piston and bodies I have, comparred to the pistons and bodies Ellis has, I have to run 30wt oil for it to feel the same. It still feels quite soft but if I have 25wt it it's REALLY soft.

For me (not Ellis) I default to 30wt as a standard setup and 90% of the time, sometimes going to 27.5wt if it's bumpy.

35wt standard, 32.5 occasionally or 30wt with stagger ribs (if I have a gun pointed at me)
