I already own one big bore converted shark(bought it converted), but i don't know where to get the parts beside the shocks and towers to build a second one.
Thanks,

I use genuine Losi mini LST shocks, if you buy the plastic parts set for them, they contain the top plastic bush to mount on an M3 screw (20mm). I cut the bush and used an M3 nut to secure the bolt to the tower rather than clamping the shock top and bush which restricts the movement.
For the shock bottoms you can use the standard lrp/duratrax rear trackrod ends, cut them down to reduce the travel/droop.
The Losi micro t shock bottom balls snap perfectly into the duratrax trackrod ends which you can then mount into the wishbone with the standard M2 bolt, try Wheelspin, Apex or DMS for the losi parts. If all else fails Losipartshouse.com in the US
The oil weight all depends on the pistons you are using, I use 35 front and 30 rear with the standard mini lst pistons.
The Losi silver springs work well as a soft rear spring if you cut them down by a couple of coils. 3 racing reds on the front, or losi greens.
Hope this helps, See you all at Telford this sunday
