Shock Type and Length Confusion

[radioactivity]

Hi blubblood
From my limited experience...
Eyelet to eyelet measurements can be roughly estimated.
A .56 body with a .56 shaft should yield about 62mm eye to eye.
A 1.18 body with a 1.02 shaft should yield about 90mm eye to eye.
A 1.02 body with a 1.02 shaft should yield about 86mm eye to eye
Overall eye to eye length can be shortened by using spacers inside the shock.
Bottom shock eyelets come in a couple lengths, changing overall length as well. About +/- 2mm.
Using AE website can be a start to what length bodies and shafts are available.
The .56 (60mm eye to eye) will limit your selection.
If this is for an RC10, a tall front tower can open up more options with matching front/rear shocks.

Thx for doing the brain work. Now if I can only find a set...
