MIP Blue Aluminum Shock Cartridge Kit

[bearrickster]

Hey I won this on Ebay I dont know anything about them I see a lot of people want them? are they any different than stock or just rebuildable? whats up with them? thanks

I have a set of four, but honestly didn't pay much attention to them when I installed them. I keep my shocks dry anyway. They will screw in as a direct replacement to the stock cartridges. With all the Losi boys here I am sure some here would want them.

I really wasnt thinking of selling them. I just saw them remembered a lot of people makeing a fuss of them so I bid and won? I just bought two more waiting for them to arrive for a set. I just wondered what was so special about them?

Awesome deal on those, don't know how I missed that. I like them better than the old stock losi carts. They seal a little better and the threads have a groove cut through them that makes bleeding much easier. I have been looking for another set for a while, I have a set of mip hard anodized shock bodies and gold shock shafts waiting for a set of carts to make a complete aftermarket losi shock.

I just did a search on Ebay and found the second set so now I have all 4

MIP used to sell O ring kits for shocks too, including for Losi. I have a set, I think in my Pro SE. Can’t say I really noticed any difference. Did sorta match the tranny I had in it for a while though. Also has titanium shafts, not positive but I believe they are Lunsfords.

Of course not as obvious and trick looking as these guys. Next ya need a MIP battery tray pad!

Got a picture? what does it look like? I have never seen one.

Well it's not quite what I thought, not shaped for the Pro SE, must of shrunk or something in storage….. so I’ll throw in a Dan’s too, try the diversionary tactic….what’s the worst that could happen?

[bearrickster]

ok the Se has a pad I cut some custom colors for the theme of the different cars I own. the car these will end up on will get a blue pad for sure thanks .

Anyone know where to get new 'O' rings for the JRX era shocks?

I believe you can use the orings out of the new cartridges. Or perhaps buy orings from a general industrial supply place like McMaster (at least in the states, not sure about your home turf). I think they are silicone orings. Check this thread:

Or you can always just use the new cartridges. Which as I was reminded are a little shorter , need spacers if you want to recreate the correct length. See this thread:
