I won the huge lot of shock parts on Ebay. to my suprise I got 3 sets of Jrx 2/T lower shock mounts and about 3 or 4 complete sets of thin shock collars and about 30 of the larger ones. what a great deal. plus a ton of RC10 ones including a full set of solid lower Rc10's. all kinds of snap on spacers.

Wow.

I saw that and a couple of other auctions from the same store.

Got robo-bid out of some of the other lots and got discouraged ... I saw that one of the bidders has bid on 17 items in the past, only once on each item, and won all of them (!).

Not that I can complain, really ... if my total were higher than the robo-bid, I'd have won. It just starts to wear on you a little bit when you think that you are going to pick up some cool old Losi gear and keep getting burned in the last second, literally.

Great pick up. Those lower shock mounts are pretty handy. And having virtually unlimited Losi shock colllars isn't too bad either!

the current double o-ring LOSA5015 cartridges will fit the x2/pro shocks. they are slimmer so you will need to use a spacer or two to maintain the original shock geometry (extended and compressed length of the shock).

This is what I was referring to as the "good" one! The slim one. Wasn't the old high profile one a double O-ring as well though ?. I've read that they leak more often, so that's why I refer to one as good versus bad. :wink:

Well I dont usely use old shock cartridges, I wait till their on sale and buy a bunch. to keep them changed out regulary. so I have never had any leaking problems. after I finish sorting this mess out, whats left will be back up for sale I only wanted the Losi stuff.
