Ok i have been looking for .71 Bottom Load shocks forever. I found a new set on ebay awhile back, They were listed as new shocks with no size on the pack, they ended up being .71 bottom load.
My next step to finish my sprint car projects is to look for cars that actually came with .71 BL shocks. So my question is what version of RC10 did the .71 Bottom Load shocks come on?

I need a good used set for my Ascot Sprint car that i can polish to chrome like finish
I need one more used set to polish to a matte finish for one of my BBT Sprints
Im undecided on my blue BBT, Might use the newer top loads for it...

yep, all shock shafts for associated are 1/8" OD, fits all the bodies they make for 1/10 scale. The shock body style doesn't matter, they are almost identical in length bottom vs top load, just the method of holding the seals in place changed.

i got the bottom loaded .71" shocks on my rc10ce car, when i got it. i think the graphite rc10's, with long arms, came with them too.
