Looking to buy MT/Truggy

[BrianG]

Yeah, I knew they were huge but was hoping they would fit. I was just looking for a little more length and throw TBH.

Stock shocks: 133mm long (hole to hole) fully extended to 93mm fully compressed (40mm throw). 20mm diameter incl springs; 16mm diameter of shock body (non-threaded part).

808 shocks: 115mm long fully extended to 85mm fully compressed (30mm throw). 24mm diameter incl spings; 17 mm of shock body.

Would like: 135-140mm long full extended to 95mm fully compressed (40-45mm throw). From 24mm to a max of 34mm diameter.

Are there any shocks out there that fit my "Would like" requirements?

The truck is in great shape. The only things I've done so far is install the new arms and CVDs you included (like to have a "like new" appearance on a fresh conversion ), reshim the front diff (pinion) because of a tad bit of resistance, clean the bearings, and replace the rear C hub hingepins because they were slightly bent and they squeaked (I used a set of pins from something else shortened about 2mm).

I'm probably gonna make a top plate similar to my MBX5/CORR truck and GTP car. I know the chassis is supposed to flex for handling purposes, but I'd rather have durability.

Just measured quick and dirty(so I might be off a few mm's):
LST2/ Aftershock shocks:
pin to pin: 146mm, compressed: 106mm
shock body diameter: 25mm

Muggy shocks:
pin to pin: 133mm, compressed: 104mm
shock body diameter: 25mm

Cen gst 7.7 shocks:
pin to pin: 143 mm, compressed: 115mm
shock body diameter: 17mm (piggy back shock)

edit: I snapped a Muggy shock shaft yesterday. They're notoriously weak. The LST2/aftershock ones can be upgraded with TiNi coated shafts(as mentioned before). You can find plenty good deals on these shocks on ebay. The plastic aftershock shocks will be cheaper than the alu LST2 ones.
