Tbc68 4 Posted January 23, 2020 Was this the case for the 1/12 & 1/10 scales? trying to upgrade the dampers in my 1/12 but as a newb I’m getting confused Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WillyChang 1812 Posted January 23, 2020 they did call the CW-01 a 1/12th yes, but then again the 2 subjects were fullsize (ie oversized) American van & pickup truck physically they've ended up being about same size as a M-chassis (which started life as a 1/10 of the tiny Morris Mini). But when Lunchbox came out there was no such thing as 1/10 touring cars yet. What dampers are you needing? CVAs are typically "Short" or "Mini" but they can be built to accomodate slightly different lengths in between. Aftermarket shocks usually just get specified by (full extended) length.

Tbc68 4 Posted January 23, 2020 Just alloy ones as the originals are shot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WillyChang 1812 Posted January 23, 2020 Have you seen these ones? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Aluminum-Oil-Shocks-damper-for-tamiya-CW-01-Chassis-Lunch-Box-Midnight-Pumpkin-/141364660060 tag suggests they're commissioned by Hobby HQ (Australian distributor of RC product) but that lot is sold out of Taiwan Interesting design of top cap. If I still had a lunchbox runner I'd be tempted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
