Mad Bull shock upgrade??

[Losi XXT-CR]

Anyone know if these shocks fit the Mad Bull? This site lists them under Mad Bull, but the description makes no mention of Mad Bull or DT-01:

Google doesn't seem to show much. And I don't want to buy the wrong shocks.

Thanks.

The DT-01, DT-02 and DT-03 all use the same length shocks, so if they fit one DT, they will fit them all. 

Just bear in mind that the suspension geometry is quite different on the '01, so you will need far thinner oil at the back compared to that supplied for the DT-03.

Yep, they fit just fine - I have them on my Mad Bull.  I used the supplied soft yellow oil and it works just fine for me for bashing around.

I know it's unrelated to your question, but I think if you're upgrading the suspension on a Mad Bull, you should maybe fit tyre foams. 

They will add a lot more predictability, than a shock upgrade and will actually complement the suspension upgrade by making the tyre sidewalls stiffer.

Just my 2p

Many thanks. Are there any foams you’d suggest that are the right size?

Schumacher truck tyre foams should do it.  The foams advertised as fitting the Lunchbox will also work.
