Are these vintage kyosho shocks?

Recommended Posts

I got a pair and some bits of these with a car i bought recently. Are they kyosho?

They look like i remember my tomahawk shocks being but these have a bleed screw. It has a seal so i assume the bleed screw isnt home done.

I assumed they would have been red with the anodising removed but they look like they were always silver.

Anyone recognise them?

Yes they are kyosho I have the same on my gallop mk2 4wds. 

Thanks.

Do you know all the cars they came on?

I have 2 fronts and a rear with no spring or spring retainers.

They will get ebayed to fund some rc10 front shocks (these came on an A stamp rc10)

Are there any internal differences or slight size differences you know of?

 

Looking at gallop pics, they dont have progressive springs like the marui (and mine) have.
