Just a quick question... are the buggy front shocks 1.02?

What do I need to complete those?

I already have shafts, pistons and caps... If I just buy I rebuild kit like this one is it sufficient? I mean is it the proper rebuild kit?

I think they are .71

Oh and what would the rear shocks be then?

What are the 1.02 made for?

1.02's are the 'short' rears. fronts are either .71's or .56's

i hate the way ae measures thier shocks...

1.02's are standard front truck shocks. but can be used on the rear of the buggies to level out the arms without adding a bunch of spacers. if you have a tall front tower, you can use them on the front, also.

depending on which rc10 you have, original, or 6 gear ce and up, they could be either the .56's or the .71's.

where do they measure these darn things to get the lengths?

i pretty sure it's the stroke of the shock shaft, inside to body.

Sounds like there was a chick @ associated that came up with that method. They are always into the size of shafts instead of what that shaft can do and how well it does it.
