TT-02B dampers on a Terra scorcher, is it possible?

Recommended Posts

I'm doing maintenance on my Terra Scorcher, and one thought came to me.

I have a set of TT-02B hop up dampers (part 54993) from my older car, and I don't want to "waste" them so, I want to put them on the Terra Scorcher. After all, I already changed the original yellow CVA dampers with the newer black ones, from the other car.

It's pretty evident that this time, it won't be as easy as was the first time: these dampers are longer than the CVA2, even with the smaller eyelets.

Has anyone tried to fit those on a Terra Scorcher or a similar car on the Thundershot chassis?

Thanks.

I ended up doing a custom taller front tower to fit the fronts. The scorcher uses the 64mm cva shocks. The tt02b shocks are 75mm minimum, and if you put 10mm spacers inside it would have hardly any up stroke. Only option as it stands would be to put a long eyelet on one of the tt02b shocks and mount it as a monoshock like the Thunder Dragon. You will have the parts leftover on the sprues. At the rear, fit the narrow original shock tower and mount the shocks to the top most narrow mounting point. Should go straight on. 

If you go monoshock front, put as stiff a spring as possible and 800cst oil in it.
