Default Losi shock sizes-Correct for X6??

I bought a set of 1 month old Losi shocks off a good mate of mine last week to run on the X6 Squared.

Problem being when ive built the car and fitted them they appear to have way too much droop front and rear.

He says they were ordered from America and are the right ones but im kind of thinking I might have 0.9 shafts in front and 1.2 Shafts in rear. This will explain why ive got the extra droop i DONT need!

As far as i know the 0.6 and 0.9 shafts are the ones i require???

How do i know i have the correct size threaded shocks aswell?

Could anyone measure theres for me to make sure, mine measure the following:

Fronts 33mm-From bottom of shock body to top of shock body
Rears 41mm-From bottom of shock body to top of shock body

Ive ordered a set of 0.6 and 0.9 shafts so will see what there like when they arrive just hope the shocks themselves are ok!

Any help would be great

Cheers guys

I think BJ's dad was bidding on that Michael Jackson glove on ebay, the rear shafts do look too long it almost makes the rear bodies look too small, which they are not.

Im sure you will be fine though and will get it sorted

From what i understand after looking for a set of losi shocks for a friend they are the CR shocks which means they should be the 0.6 bodies and shafts on the front and the 0.9 bodies and 1.0 shafts on the rear. Looking at the pictures they do look like cr shocks i would suggest you have so much droop as your running them on the inside hole on the tower and on the wishbone.

Normally I'd agree, but that's exactly how you should run them on an X6. Droop monster!!!!
