Pred shocks are not nearly as short as TC shocks!
Plus, like DCM mentioned, with the rocker system, you get a very, very progressive effect. Which means that pack and oil volume are not nearly as critical... it ends up being really stiff (with high pistons speed) near full compression anyway.
And I don't think preds have as much pack as other cars....
Pred pistons are interesting though, with the hole+slot system. I've tested them in Losi shocks. The diameter is more or less the same as a losi piston, but the pred pistons are seriously asymmetrical. (conical!) So I had to always use them with the large diam side up, which coincidentally has a big moulding lip :-s I found that although they feel interesting, with the slot, I couldn't get enough pack. Landing off jumps was difficult. I tried 1H1S, and 2H1S, IIRC. And also, with the asymmetric nature, that just feels weird in a 2WD.
