I know it may be a long shot, but you may be able to get a set of FTX vantage shocks to fit, i'm not 100% sure on the measurements, but we measured the shocks on a vantage with a ruler that the shop had in stock as a mate wanted to get some cheap adjustable shocks for his SCT & they looked like they would fit OK & they seem to be a bigger bore - without taking them off we couldn't check 100% & as it was a new car in the shop we didn't want to start taking liberties & start ripping the shocks off to test fit them on an Ansmann.. however a guy i race with at club had a similar idea & bought a set to fit to a macnum & they seemed a lot bigger - almost 8th car sized, although he may of brought the wrong ones as he bought some rears off ebay, so they may have been listed with the wrong description. The good thing is though they are only about £12 a pair so if money is tight it may be worth a punt, i'm not sure if they are any good or not as i've never used them, but i have seen a couple of Vantage's running & they seemed to handle OK. if anyone has a vantage & can measure the shocks & they are roughly in line with the 75mm/95mm the rat uses, then go for it.
