Which dampers?

[shodog]

what buggies came with gold shocks and which buggies came with the grayish looking dampers?

[badhoopty]

the more expensive 'team' kits had the hard anodized shocks and bearings. the gold shocks were for the budget bushing kits.

my first post may be a bit misleading, i was just kinda firing from the hip. i know the 10t & gt trucks came with either sport or team options but i aint too sure about the buggies being offered up that way.


that being said, somebody correct me if i'm wrong here:

old style bottom loading o-ring gold shocks
-original narrow arm gold tub & graphite kits

new style gold shocks
-championship edition? (not too sure if it had the new style gold or retained the old design)

new style hard anodized (grey) shocks
-team car
-worlds car

I know that the original had the bottom loaders and my old CE had the newer style gold shock. I just wasn't sure on the others. My plan is to build up a team car utilizing a composite craft team car chassis, a NIB stealth tranny and a few other choice hop ups. what body did the team car use? a viper?

[mrlexan]

Have the Associated catalog right here in front of me... it shows that the Team Car has the Viper body (Tower is currently out of them).

[badhoopty]

i prolly helped drained towers supply when i ordered around 30 bodies a couple months ago...

i sure hope they still keep making bodies at least for a few more years.

[mrlexan]

I just ordered some too, not nearly as many as you......... I'll have to wait on the Viper hoping that they will get some in soon.

[badhoopty]

lemme tell ya, it wasnt very fun trimming all of them, but at least now all my 'completed' projects have bodies.

i do believe 2 gold tubs were called championship editions. one with the 6 gear, and one with the stealth. both had the wide front arms. the 6 gear car had the bottom loading shocks, and the stealth car had the new style.

My 6 gear has the top loaders.

My 6 gear has the top loaders.

your chassis is drilled for the stealth though, right? i'm guessing someone pulled the stealth and put a 6 gear in it. i might be thinking of the wrong car though. sorry if it's not yours dude.

[justinspeed79]

Yup, it is. Never even thought of that. I guess it's the "why would you" factor that threw me off.

ya, really.

I would doubt that's the case. I'm sure 6 gear cars were still being made long after the top load shocks were introduced. And, once the Stealth came out, I think most of the kits came with Stealth drilled chassis. So, it would make perfect sense to get a Champ car with a 6 gear, top loading shocks and Stealth holes.
