Sandscorcher shocks

[ploots 185]

Hi all, now I've sorted my motor and steering I'm looking at what shocks I can put on it, ideally coilover style is what I'm after more for looks really, I want it to look fairly realistic but I am open to suggestions,  I have tried searching and found some great pictures of members cars with coilovers on but there's no reference as to what they are or where they got them from and if there is the link didn't work many thanks in advance jeff

if you want new items rc crawler shocks are a good place to start - they have the look you're after and tend to be available in different lengths (75 and 90mm eye to eye for the SRB if my brain serves me correctly.)

You can get cheap and cheerful things like these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RC-Car-Shocks-Absorber-Damper-for-1-10-RC-Crawler-Car-SCX10-D90-TRX4/352799805302?hash=item522481cf76:g:ZsIAAOSwBPddiJyh

or get some lovely items from places like RC4WD.

If you want to reuse your original shocks and make them look like coilovers, something like this will be ideal: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SHOCK-CONVERSION-Tamiya-Sand-Scorcher-Special-Racing-Buggy-SRB-Team-CRP-5153-CS/233602449598?hash=item3663ca80be:g:3QUAAOxywbNQ-cQT

but note these only work with the original SRB's, not the re-release.

 

Hope that helps!

Thanks at least it's a starting point for me, I do have the original shocks so that is definitely an option 👍
