Improve your off-road R/C buggy�s suspension with this setof high-grade dampers. These aeration-type dampers feature a hard black coating to increase durability and reduce friction. Efficiency is further increased by utilizing titanium-coated piston rods for smoother travel. Set of 2 long and 2 short dampers will enable customization of one vehicle.
*Compatible Chassis: DB01, TRF501X, DF-03, DT-02


As for the standard kit shocks, I wouldn't give much thought to their lengths. The black plastic CVA-II shocks were originally designed back in 1990 for the Avante 2001. At least this is the first car they appear on. All the parts (except springs) are still the same to this day. As someone else already stated, the only differences are the lengths of the bottom ball connector, as well as any internal limiters. You can bet that 501X shock would be ideal...
