shocks
 
just been reading through some setup sheets, can i just ask with regards the shock lengths is this measured as tip to tip top to bottom or as though centers of bolt holes?

JohnM 05-06-2010 07:19 PM

Normally I read it as from the bottom of the shock, to the start of the ball joint, the visible part of the shock shaft in other words.

Unless it's quite a big figure given, then it could be from top to bottom of the whole thing.

I'll let the Team drivers have the final say, but I believe the shock length is fully extended center of eyelet to center of eyelet

Paul_Sinclair 06-06-2010 04:43 AM

I measure shock length as screw-to-screw.

Cheers guys, just got hold of a set of Schumacher big bores to try

I'm 99.9% sure that my Ellis setup sheet gives lengths that are the middle of the eyelets. When I measured the extended length of my Associated shocks (with no internal spacers) they came out pretty much spot on.

will be trying schumacher bigbores shocks this weekend at the oople race, this is the first time ive run the x6 also, have a set of associated shocks to try back to back, could be a steep learning curve:o

there's nothing like setting yourself a challenge!

have you raced at RHR before?

/tobys 21-06-2010 09:32 PM

Hi Guys,

I didnt want to open a new topic for my question.

Does somebody use TRF shocks on his X6sq? I know, Hupo in the past used them,, but its far away.
So if you have experiences with them on your X6, let me know.

thanx.

Hi,

I recieved my TRF Shocks yesterday. I'll compare them with the actual Associated Shocks.

Losi Shock are unfortunately rare but I still be interested to get them. Could someone please give me the part-number from these losi-shocks (XXX-CR)???

Thx...(sorry for my bad english)

Daniel,

You cannot currently buy Losi shocks as a complete set, you have to buy all the individual packets seperatly that make a set of shocks up (threaded bodies, shock shafts, shock cups/bottoms, pistons, springs, eyelet balls and shock cartridges - all sold individually sadly which is why they alwasy work out so expensive...)

Yep...way too long (yet Losi DO offer these and the Losi Eight and ALL micros and the 1/8th LST and their touring car ones and pretty much ALL of their other shocks as complete units, juts NOT the 1/10th off road shocks :confused: :thumbdown:)
