hth

Cool, we'll see what turns up. Plan is to take the spare shocks, and just sell the car straight on without taking anything off it.

True but want to get shot of the car easily. I paid £65 for the car, shocks and spares.

Sorry I assume shocks will still be fine?

[Mike Hudson]

yep the xxx4 and xxxcr have the same shocks just the xx4 that has the longer rear bodies and shafts

[jono83]

Yeah will be fine

[mikeyscott]

Cool

Ordered the needed bits from DMS. The base of the shocks, are they like the AE ones where the screw goes through etc.

Anyone got any pics of the shocks on a B4? I assume I can download the manual from the Losi site..

What bolts do people use for securing the shocks

[Mike Hudson]

the same ones you use for the ae shocks although you may need slightly longer screws for the shock towers as the bushings that the shocks sit on are abit longer I think

[mikeyscott]

Any recommendations for screws so I can order them up

[jono83]

For the tops or bottom of the shocks?
for the bottoms i would use some nortech shock bottom retaining screws and i think i use 3/4inch ones for the tops all 4-40 btw

[mikeyscott]

Got a link for Nortech?

The spare shocks that arrived with the XXX4 are the non threaded version, are the parts cross compatible?

I bought the shorter shafter and threaded body from DMS, but now thinking of ordering the threaded body for the front.
