This is going to be an easy one for most you guys but this is the first time I have seen a gold shock with this type of body. Attached is pic of the usual shock with one that does not have an exterior retaining clip. My rc10's are all gold chassis era. Is this type of shock off the graphite cars?

I'm sure somone will chime in to correct me, but the shock that does not have the retaining clip I believe came along with the stealth gearbox. I'm not sure if the earlier shocks carried over to the early stealth cars, or if the newer shocks were on the late six gear cars or not.

I have Gold 10T Shocks that arent Bottom Loaders. Maybe its a Truck Length Shock.

the late c.e. 6 gear cars came with the new style shocks first. then everything else followed. the 6 gear graphite cars had the old style.

Guys,
Thanks for the education.

scr8p is correct . those shock bodies are now call hard anodize shock bodies .

They're not called hard anodised unless they're hard anodised. Gold ones are just normal gold anodised, these days they still make them in blue.

I've got some bottom loading 1.02" gold shocks with gold caps, what'd they come from?
The original 7001 RC10T seems to have hard anodised shocks, only introducing the gold ones when the sport version came out which by that stage would be top loading.

they were just an optional shock, as was the .71's. they didn't come in any of the kits.
