I believe those are Delta shocks - the large diameter model originally built for the Yokomo 834B conversion they made.
I would really like to find some of these in the appropriate length; we used them back in the early 90's on some custom built loose dirt oval cars - they were smooth beyond ANYTHING produced in that era - with aluminum shock pistons![/quote]
Let me know what length you need... I will disassemble and determine if the extra unknown pistons are for these shocks.[/quote]
The shocks are 80mm extended front and 94mm extended rear - it is a single shock front end and I believe that the Delta Desert conversion possibly used 2 shocks up front - not 100% sure on that....
In the line of different and unusual, I received this body from a fellow in Japan many years ago; it was what they called a 'space shuttle' body for the 834 B if my memory serves me correctly. He indicated that it had been run in a worlds - don't remember if he said which one or not but I thought I'd give the knowledge base here a shot!
The body is in decent shape - it's a pearl color and was lined on the inside with what appears to be race numbers for cars. Has a crack behind the rear, upper pin hole for mounting. AND, an interesting factoid is that the windows are black paint - rather than clear or tint. Interesting...[/quote]
the body is a bolink
