Default **MUST SEE**BEST RC18 SHOCKS EVER**

Hey guys,
As the tittle suggests i have found a miracle rc18 shock
I mounted my Yokomo touring car shocks on it, and MAN! The performace change was amazing!!! The car is used for on-road only so i do not know how it would work for off-road but if its anything like what it did for my on-road car you will leave the competition for dead! Yokomo shocks may be a bit expencive compared to Associated standard shocks but the performace gain is well worth it!!
Any questions please feel free to ask and i will get back to you asap
Sorry for the dodge pics, phone camera.

Rhys.

Nice. Pretty much can run any shock touring then if you can mount it up. Losi may even have some benefits as they did have a rally car at one time with the SW Rally, so the springs may give better offroad action.

Yeah huge differnce as you can get it slamed in both front and rear, with the old shocks i could never get the rear lower than the front. And if you wish to run off-road with the shocks they can be raised back up to the full height of standard shocks.

Yeah im sure you could run most other tourer shocks the only reason i chose the yoke shocks as i knew for a fact they were a 100% bolt on no mod item.

Hey buddy,
The arms are driven productions wide arms (which also need longer CVDS and ball cups) i DO NOT recomend the arms as the fit is a bit dodgey with there bieng slop all over the place, having said that tought they still do the job

How are you guys mounting the RC18B wing mounts with the 'detta wing. The shock tower holes are to far out to use the 'detta wing holes. I just kinda rigged mine up but it constatly moved around.

I used rc18b wing mounts and bought a 3racing wing which had no holes in it so i just drilled the holes to suit it

Sure thing. Maybe give a little run down of your parts too, like what kind of extended CVDs work with those arms?

I noticed that my stock shocks with the RPM RC18T rear shock tower woudl hit the wing mount. Any issues with touring shocks like this?

If I keep my 18T, I probably will go with different shocks.
