I HATE to say this, but you can get them off ebay for MUCH MUCH less than they are on RRP in this country. Normally I wouldn't condone this action(and would always support my local model shop normally), but seeing as you can get a full set of shocks for just over half what you can get them for a pair in this country, then I am afraid, that someone is taking the P*** with the importing of these.

The other parts seem relatively inexpensive, and remain competitive on price however.

PM me for more info

Thanks,

I would not recommend using RC18 shocks, don't think they would fit (I am assuming you want the bigger shocks because you are widening the car to ST standard?) and their quality is crap at best. Some people use Losi Mini-T Pro shocks but I still think you are better off with ST shocks, they are pretty good with the right oil.

No they do fit- ran then on my Blaze for a while with good results

however I have not tested St or touring car shocks so realy cant comment on whats best- just know what i used

They might fit a Blaze but they'll alter a Shark as the suspension is a bit wider. You might be able to run 4 rears (and end up with lower droop) but I found I could never quite get good damping with them and the shock shafts are super thin. Even on a car as light as the RC18 they snap easily.

Harris has a tower front tower that allows for use of shorter shocks on the front if you really want to do it but if you consider you can get a set of proper ST shocks from Towerhobbies for $15 then it's not really worth the effort. The ST shocks really are better than the stock Blaze ones, they are not perfect but they are better. They also have about twice the volume of the Blaze shocks so they are effectively big bores

There we go then

Hi matey, if you really want some i've got about 6 pairs lying around but as Craig says the best way to go is TC shocks. The FT Shark shocks are pretty pants at best, yes they are loads better than the standard Blaze crap but they are still garbage. I'd have a word with Schumacher and get yourself some TC shocks from one of their tourers
