Looks like Avante buggy shocks to me. You need tamiya 53155.

It depends whether you want to make them back in to real Avante shocks, or just hack together a functioning hybrid. 53155 Might give you the parts for a hybrid, but an expensive route. The route to real Avante shocks needs original Avante springs and the plastic parts for the bottom end. Might cost similar to 53155 The cheap hack is just whatever combo of springs, rod ends and plastic bottom caps you can scrounge. Many brands will fit. The advantage of 53155 is getting everything in one package, but you are still left with an expensive hybrid.

If you don’t need them you will find willing buyers, I’m sure. Including me!

What you have there is a pair of Kyosho Gold option house shocks. And the upper one has been fitted with a short Tamiya black plastic end.

Kyosho Optima
