How big are the Losi aftershock LST LST2 or xxl Shocks
 

Hi people I need some help on finding a suitable set of shocks for my custom emaxx/revo/lst 8 lb 1/5 monster sedan

I was looking at the losi shocks, but told they are 35mm 1.4' in Diameter and 6" long :surprised: is that true..?

Do you what size they are or what good shock I should be using ?

Use:Mild small jumps, but mostly street and hard pack driving

comments, suggestions, tips,feeback greatly apreciated
thanks you

Freaking huge. Measurements sound right, tho I didn't check them.
dunno on the rest...

The shocks on my 8ight buggy are 95/115mm long (f/r) and 25mm+ diameter.

Thats 3 3/4"- 4 1/2" and almost 1 1/4" in diamter.

That means the area of the top of the shock is about 982mm^2, am I right?

I doubt they'll fit inside those Maxx arms without modification. They're bigger around than the shocks on my Baja 5b :lol:

They wont fit in the maxx arms, you can make them fit but it requires a bit of modification and will weaken the arms, some searching and you might be able to find a post where someone took some Al arms and modified them to use LST shocks.

Check out the following site............

Should give you a bit of info on the shocks with the Maxx.

I just took one of my LST Shocks. And yes, they've an 1.4inch diameter and are 6.2 inch long.

Just wanted to share this pic, it's from my Traxxas Rustler VXL with the LST tire and a Shock from the LST :lol:

Just noticed Overkill had this about covered, yes im a lazy 1 eyed thread skimmer

FYI: I have started compiling a list of shock dimensions on my site: http://scriptasylum.com/rc_speed/_shocks.html

If anyone has anything to add, post it in the R/C Calc sticky please...

WHeew , Thank you Everyone !

Very useful info

Looks like Losi 8t 8eight is a popular size and affordable

Surprised that Aftershock is 6" long

I'll see if I can make a size listing and add it to the link posted earlier

OFNA Ofna LX One shocks
#
Front Shocks Measure 103mm C to C extended 4"
#
Rear Shocks Measure 123mm C to C extended 4.8"
Seems these would be just right

How do you guys like the THe LOSI 8eight fronts ? they are much shorter
