buy some b4 shocks dont buy ansmann shock the no good mate

[mattlynch]

thanks but i hate b4 shocks, the ones on my b4 leaked all the time despite 3 rebuilds, not seen any bad reports on the ansmann alloy shocks, nice to keep with the whole green thing too,, where did you hear they are duff?

The Ansmann ones are fine. Actually rather nice to build and stay leak-free nicely. Not sure how long the anodising will last on the inside but then who really cares

[stampede vxlboy]

no body use them they all use losi or b4 i got 2 parts of b4 there ace work good on this car look at my madrat forsale parts brake all the time tplate rear pin holders etc stock tower etc i have spent over 100notes on my there just cheap but to start racing with there good on a track mate i used my on a track it was good but parts was braking all the time

The Ansmann xpro greens are great shocks.Ignore anyone on here who says they are no good.
APEX models sell them but they will cost you

thanks for that, dont mind cost if they work, as for the losi , b4 shocks they are all guff in UK conditions, ive tried them and the rebuilds are endless, the ansmann ones use a three piece body and are what i am used to, tamiya use three piece shock body's and i have never in my 48 tamiya model history had them leek or fail , one set of losi and one set of b4's and they both had dirt ingress and leeked half way through the first run, i am told they are great in U.S conditions or indoors though .THANKS AGAIN FOR THE RESPONSES.

Hi,
i recently bought a new x-pro and must say that i am sold to Tamiya
shocks but these are of a very good quality as well!
The Ansmann shocks are the easiest i've ever build and are very smooth
when build correctly.

Good luck.

might just buy the tamiya buggy shock set but cant find the 'built' lengths of them, any ideas folks?

I'm sure it will be in here somewhere.

Maybe search "shock length" - I can imagine there may be a good page or two, but I'm sure someone's measured them.

The fronts are approximately 77mm extended, 60mm compressed.

The rears are approximately 93mm extended, 65mm compressed.

a touch long but with short rod ends and a bit of internal shimming they might do, i will call my LHS and a few others tomorrow to see if they can get there hands on the Ansmann ones, the ones listed on Apex web site dont say if its the gray or green ones ,or if they are just the damper bodies sanns internals, will give them a call too methinks,, thanks again for the help folks, rapid response or what!!

Fastrax and Ansmann do an aftermarket alloy shock set for 75mm and 95mm shocks, they retail at £8.99 for a pair, the part number for the Fastrax ones is fast166 fronts and fast168 rears, they work very well, a couple of local drivers are using them and had no problems using them, easy to build, bleed and work well on track, the only thing they did is use the kit springs as the ones that come with the shock are a little too long to fit on the car.

thanks for that 'Concept' , they look good for the money , found the Ansmann X PRO shock part numbers at last, ;125000486 front
;125000487 rear
these numbers are for the complete shocks with springs , around £20 per pair ,thanks again for all the suggestions folks.
