t3garett 268 Posted November 9, 2019 Hi all Sorry to bother you with non tamiya stuff but I m a bit stuck at the moment. I can t for the life of me find some medium schumacher vari shock bodies. So being desperate I m looking for any type of vintage schumacher shock absorbers. Preferably the type used on the cat 2k and 3k and cougar 2k. I can pay or trade with tamiya items. Thanks in advance Cheers Leslie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will measure and take pics later. They are whatever their sort of pro, or team version were. They are a sort greeny gold colour with yellow springs. I have 2 rears and one front. I had them on a boomerang, they are very good! Im just not up on schumacher so not really sure what they are except being probably early 90s i think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only have 1 front though. I think they may need new seals but they are available. I did know what these are, and got in touch with schumacher and the parts were available, £6 if i remember right. I have a load of preload collars for them too. There a bit grubby, ill take some pics later. Do you know what type of shock they are? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t3garett 268 Posted November 10, 2019 Yes I think they are called " schumacher pro vari shocks" . And yes I ll buy them from you with the "grubby" preload collars as Well ! Just tell me a price and shipping and I ll send a paypal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
