i have 2 shock problems...1/i have some old shocks that need rebuilding, gold shocks from 6gear car, green team car shocks and green and gold rc10t shocks. do they all use the same rebuild kits and do they still make rebuild kits?? 2/ two my buggys dont have shocks id like replacement oil shocks that are not a ton of money. i dont care if there plastic as long as they fit , id like to stay away from ebay (lots of worn out stuff).i saw DuraTrax Shock Set Front Assembled Evader BX (2) for 15.50 at tower hobbies but dont know if they will fit??what will fit b2? b3? b4? any help or links will be great

I asked a similar question about bebuilding shocks on this thread an there was a link posted to a rebuild kit on Tower's website:

All the newer style shocks from AE use the same rebuild kit that is still offered. As long as they are the top load shock. The older gold shocks you may have trouble with if you have to replace the c clip or the bottom disk, so be careful with those when disassembling.. The o-rings are all the same though.

The Durarax shocks are good enough to use, if you want a cheaper option. As far as if they are the correct lengths I am not totally sure. The rears will probably be OK with some internal stroke limiting spacers, but the fronts you will need to get a measurement.
