Current 10th scale big bore shocks vs older 8th scale non-big bore shocks...

Quote

Post by adam lancia » Thu Dec 17, 2020 7:52 am

Dangerous thing, but I got to thinking today while browsing eBay. Has anyone tried fitting current 10th scale big bore springs to older 8th scale shocks...? I know most were a 13mm inner bore but I wonder if the spring diameters would be close enough to fit. Matching up lengths might also prove tricky. I don't have any 8th scale stuff anymore or any big bore springs so if any of you have both of these on hand, would you feel like checking it out...? I'm thinking specifically of a set of big bore shocks that will fit my resto-mod Lazer ZX-R and a set of Inferno shocks would give it a cool, unique look.

Thanks in advance!

I've been wanting to run big bore springs on my JRX Pro for a while due to the variety of spring rates available. I've got tons of big bore springs and this way is far cheaper than converting the car to big bore shocks. I modeled these up and am...

I've completed a model tree for the big bore spring adapters for standard bore Losi shocks. It has a set of 4 of each part. There are 4 collars, for those who have the smooth bodies. There are 4 bottoms, for all shocks. Finally, there are 4 rings....

I know someone has probably asked before but what shocks off the new associated models will fit the rc10t? Are they bolt on or do I need to make modifications?

Last post

A better option might be to run these on the front.

That's the stock 10T bottom ends... I don't think it will alleviate the issue. But then again, one has to try to see how it all nets out.

I'm sure this has been asked before but I'm feeling lazy right now Lol. Which big bores fit the 10t? Can someone post a pic of a set of any shocks on the back side of the tower?

Last post

This is nice I was looking into getting newer threaded shocks for my build but I'm thinking of going to big bores now after seeing this thread.

Hey guys, I’m setting up an RC10 to run at my local Clay track. I plan on putting some big bore shocks on it that I took off of a B5m. I’m looking for some basic set up Tips since I know several of you guys have run big bore shocks on your RC10s....

I need to test more but, I used shocks from a B5 with factory works towers. I used kit pistons with 30W oil. My suggestion is to measure your current droop setup and match that with your new setup. I liked green springs front and rear but, tune to...
