Hey hoopty, you are right the shocks are junk, but they make good show pieces. They aren't nearly as smooth as the assc. grey teflon shock bodies.

Thanks David I'll keep a look out for them!

templeofspeed - Yeah Associated bearings are rediculously expensive too!

Fourth, ABEC ratings mean nearly zilch in our industry, in fact a ABEC 7 bearing will turn into powder in one run on an offroad track (tolerance is so tight that 1 spec of dust destroys the inner race immediately) Hi David, I've also heard that high ABEC ratings in small sized bearings (for our rc ...

Losi Jr. made and sold his RPS yoke version in '86 after he won the ifmar worlds open class in '85. You and shodog got nice pieces.
