Shock shafts and parts

[Dan Dirt]

Does anyone know where I can buy shock shafts and/or individual shock parts ex.: seals, pistons, caps, plastic parts. Or, am I stuck buying the whole shock? Thanks!

You can buy all the shock parts seperatly at Rampagehopups.com. I bought parts to build 5mm shocks recently so I know.

The shock shafts are one part # all the plastis and rubber o rings are in a single parts bag.

Thanks. I just took apart all the shock of my used MT and all four have the same problem. The e-clips have come of the shaft. I have a version 1 truck, is this something anyone has come across? I did find new spring steel e-clip at McMaster that I am going to give a try.

Yeah it was mentioned in checklist for first run. The first had clips/4mm shaft, then were revised to have nuts on a 4mm threaded shaft, now were on 5mm threaded shaft w/nuts.

Thanks HH,


Can I upgrade my 4mm shocks to 5mm with new shafts and plastics, but use the old bodies and springs?

Yes.
