Default What shocks fit and work on a T4.1 other than the V2 shocks ?

The reason why i am asking is because i tryed everything with the V2 shocks and its just a PITA to get them to all Bleed right or air gets into them i tried a lot of things to get them right .

Other Emousion style shocks like Losi i dont have a issue with . Are the Big Bore shocks for the T.41 easier ?


Would the Losi 22t shocks work or the Kyosho ones ?

Both the Losi and Kyosho shocks will fit just fine. I ran Losi shocks on mine.

Only problem would be that unless you know what setup changes to make and when, you are going to be lost.

Hum ok thanks . What about the T4.1/T4.2 Big bore shocks are they all easyier than the V2 shocks to bleed and everything else ? I looked at somebody who had them and they had Alum shock caps on them .

ifuonlyknow : So if i had a diffrent brand of shocks and springs i would just follow what rate of springs of the T4.1 springs and match them up right ?


I dont get why the V2 shocks with the Bleeder caps are such a pain to bleed right without getting air. Maybe its the plastic bleeder caps im not sure i used the tool to seat the O-rings somewhat told me its supposed to click when seated but i dint hear it.

If you run the 22 shocks leaned all he way in they will hit the tower on top!!

The 22t Front shocks wont hit the top of the tower if you but a washer behind the mounting screws .

The Front shock bodies on the 22t shock bodies are shorter than the Associated Big Bore shock bodies and i think the 22t Front springs are also i just figured that out. I had some issues getting my Front ride height low enough with the Front 22t shocks.

The Rear 22t shocks work perfect on the T4.1 and the kit is cheap.


I had the V2 shocks i could never get them to stop sucking air in when i pushed shock shaft up and down for some reason.

Any shocks will work really, as long as they have close to the same length

I know what you mean. Building the FT V2 shocks are easy do with the bleeder caps but the blue ones can be a pain. I guess you could just buy bleeder caps for them.

They were the V2 bleeder caps i got tried of messing with them.
They were the Factory team shocks.

Im thinking the Big Bore Associated shocks shouldnt have that issue.
