Losi Shocks
 

Could anyone tell me if the XXX4 rear shocks are exactly the same size as the XX4 ? Thanks

I'm virtually certain they are not. erhas the bodies are but the shafts not?

Cheers i`m after some threaded shocks for my X6 and am told the XX4 rear ones are best !

I`ve found some XXX4 ones for sale.

Actually I THINK the xx4 ones are the longer so the xxx4 ones might be fine.

Losi's website knows...

XX-4 http://www.losi.com/Products/Default...rodID=LOSA5062
XXX-4 http://www.losi.com/Products/Default...rodID=LOSA5064

=> XX-4 longer

Are the bodies the same though?

If I remember right the xxx4 had 1.0 bodys & shafts.

where as the XX4 has 1.2

Thats right mate. :D
Did I hear you say to your dad about a vid of your runs yesterday?

It's all detailled on exploded views available on Losi's website. Very usefull doc...

I don't know if this question should get a new thread, but here goes...

What kind of longevity should I expect from my Ti-Nitride coated shock shafts? I bought a replacement about two weeks ago and after about three hours of driving I'm already seeing the silver metal under the Ti-Nitride coating. This is after replacing the cartridge and oil before use.

That is very quick unless they are binding or something, often if they are slightly bent they will wear like this, have they taken a knock early on?

Are they Losi or MIP shafts?

yeah light was poo though and couldn't see anything on the footage. Afraid he has a bit to do to catch up with Bathy, lol

Super Dan, thanks for getting back:

MIP makes shock shafts? Well, THAT'S pretty cool!

You may be right about the binding; one of the bolts through the shock tower to the shock was bent. I noted it after I took it apart yesterday. All new parts now. I'll keep punishing it, uh, I mean driving it and see how it holds up.
