Can anyone confirm what thread is found on the Kyosho Gold shock ends & shafts? I'm guessing it's 3mm but could it possibly be 2.5mm? TIA

Hi guys.
I want to rebuild some of my Option House gold dampers with new shock shafts. I feel the original shafts are a little short and would be happy to find something a little longer should they be out there. Even if this means adding spacers on...

I'm currently rebuilding a set of Gold shocks for a forum member trade. Tonight I can update this topic with the exact length of the shafts F & R, and maybe some additional info on aftermarket parts. Stay tuned.

How different are these?
I can see the thread look=s a bit bigger on the AE but it could be only a color difference.

Last post

I like MIP stuff, but when it comes to shock shafts, I have found the coating on the MIP's to wear off sooner than others. However, they are usually cheaper. -Jeff

Yes the ot210bk work on the gold shocks

Ot210bk (bk for black)
Ot210r (R for red)

Replacement seals are org03bk

And diaphragms are w6006

At least that’s the part numbers I use to rebuild my golds IMG_5866.jpeg

Hi guys, first post. I have some Associated shocks (V1?) from my B4 fitted onto an old Yoke MR4BC. It could do with a bit more droop, do Associated do a slightly longer shock rod end, say 3-4mm longer? The standard ones I have are 13mm from the end...

I don't know your car, but I've used these for the same reason in the past

Decided to test a 3mm end on the shock shaft, just slide over like nothing was there. Gonna have to use the 4-40 ends on the other site. I'm gonna hope the description about it being 4-40 is right.

Do MIP shocks shafts for Losi shocks work with Associated shocks? I don't know if the shaft diameters and piston attachment methods are the same.

Also, did MIP make suspension hinge pins back in the day?
