Team C
 
Hi guys...

Just been looking on the Team C website for a set of their madrat shocks...

Anyone else seen these..

http://www.teamcracing.net/index_pro...1&imgid=614724

and the rear ones too... Just wondering if ansmann are going to release these??

They look really nice! and at $80 (about £50-£60) not a bad price!!

:thumbsup:

Yeah, I saw this, here, you can buy it :

I wonder if its good for a 2wd, because of the spring strenght, the hole size on the piston... But they are beautifull !

Tom3012 28-05-2010 03:24 PM

Yeah i had a look on that site...

I guess they'd be good, the cougar uses big bores, a lot of 4wd cars are now opting for big bores...

As you say though, depends on the springs you can get... tempted though!!! :thumbsup:

the shocks are for the 4wd buggy.
fit well in the 2wd buggy?

woOdy 28-05-2010 04:28 PM

Alreay in motion guys. They will be here soon in GREEN.:thumbsup:

Tom3012 28-05-2010 05:09 PM

How much Stu???

The other ansmann option parts are quite pricey..

nicefrog 28-05-2010 05:51 PM

I'm sure I read somewhere, someone is using the big bore 4wd shocks on a 2wd already. The shock towers are the same on the 4wd buggy right?. I've almost finished my Team C stadium truck, no big bore shocks for that but it's a very nice thing :). I like it more than the buggy. I've been buying all my parts and JConcept tyres direct from Hobbypro since there's no Ansmann (or hobby shops) out here. Green ones on woodys green buggy will be slick :)

There is not enough clearance to fit big bores onto an X-Pro or Madrat...the gap between the turnbuckles is not enough, just a heads up if you are thinking of ordering these for a rat or X-Pro...they wont fit :)

I've got some big bore shocks for another car and tried some experiments but by default there simply is not enough room...

Schumacher ones just fit :thumbsup:

A 1mm maybe 2mm spacer on the C hub ballstud would also help with clearance

Battle_axe 31-05-2010 09:53 PM

useing the ball cups from the SC truck they go on fine as they are angled like on the cougar:thumbsup:

Tom3012 31-05-2010 09:56 PM

I was thinking cougar ones, didnt know the sc ones are angled, ill get some of those ordered up!

Big bore fits 2wd

ConceptRacing 09-06-2010 05:31 PM

WOW Super cool!!! thats it, must get a set now, lets hope it works as well as looks.

kedal 09-06-2010 05:42 PM

Those pics are from Rob Martin, who says we may use big bore shock mount insteed of the stock ones.

I just now wonder about the springs rate... and the piston

nicefrog 09-06-2010 06:14 PM

Very nice :) now the only thing to wonder is.... Will the car be faster or slower with the big bore shocks

nicefrog 09-06-2010 07:07 PM

lol, well it's a good upgrade if you got the madrat kit in the beginning :). Big bore madrat would be pretty fancy

JezT 10-06-2010 09:24 AM

Kedal - Looks awesome:thumbsup:
How much clearance is there between the shock springs and the standard camber link turnbuckle at the front? And at the back?
