They fit fine, but the 8x1.3 Kyosho pistons don't have enough pack for the JQ, and the 8x1.2's don't work very well. 7 holes pistons are the best for the JQ.

The extended length isn't as important in comparison to stroke, so what shocks have 20mm of stroke? Or would this stroke be closer to 1/10 buggy front shocks?
