Don't quote me on this, but I'd guess the length of the shock body might be somewhere around 50mm and the width of it 13mm. I've never fully understood this, because most mini shocks are 58-63mm long, end to end when built without internal spacers.

Best guess would be 50mm is shock body including cap and upper ball mount thing.

Yeah, Los Angeles. There was a shop owner Steve Wang that use to sell nice batteries and motors and stuff 15-20yrs ago.

After assembling i think the shock length is 50mm
Because it is shorter than the shock i have before (pic on previous page)

I bought 3r m05 damper set bcause the older one(colt rc damper) is too long.. when i run it, it would be grip roll..

Now i change the new one and now its flat..

See the difference??
Both are fully extended

Looks nice. Which pistons are you running in what looks to be the #54000's?

kytr8matic

I'm running with 3 holes piston combine with tamiya oil #450.. after reading some article

This is 3 racing damper set for m05.. the #54000 has black aluminum body..

Hi, flew to Korea to race mini in the Tamiya Asia Cup 2016 Finals. Here is my Suzuki Swift

Is that right, looks very similar because the #54000's I have on my V2 and M-Four are blue housing too. The black housing ones I have are the new big boar dampers.

I think they meant that the shock body itself is black (or much darker than silver). The end caps are blue.

Oh, okay. Yeah, the housing is black on the 54000's.

What a unique paint job hahahaha..
Did you not cutting the fender arch on purpose??
BTW good luck for the race

kytr8matic

Yeap.. like gigaplex said.. 😁😁😁 the housing is different.. the cap and the bottom are the same as tamiya.. anodized blue cap..

The race was 10 days ago, first weekend in Sept.

M-Chassis was won by Korean driver Im Man-Soon who was the class of the field, he won the first two legs of the final, lapping most of the other competitors in the process. Should be a strong contender in Tokyo in November.
