Shock set for 6.1
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...6b9f939897.jpg
Anyone know a decent replacement shock, yeah, yokomo or 3 racing part # that works well with these, an original set seems to be unobtanium and not ready to drop the cash on a set of tc7 s... if they work on this that is. Anyone know what shocks are shown in pic. Discovering my ride height is 10mm and no spacers to remove !! |

After some googling I believe these are 55mm TC3 shocks and pretty sure I need 50mm .

The upper bearing caps are flipped around, going to try that!
About the upper link, no that's not pro-squat and that #7 hole shouldn't be used on the rear tower as that lower roll stiffness too much and messes up camber gain. Both critical to have a good handling car. |

Those aren't TC3 shocks. I think 55mm are the correct size, 50mm is m-chassis size.

These are 55mm all the way around yet my ride height is 10mm with no where to adjust them lower, very confused and this is why I usually build from a kit LoL, no wondering when bag A , bag B :) |
Those are not associated TC6 Shocks or TC3 , They almost look like Traxxass shocks
If you bought that used you got the wrong shocks , TC 6 shocks dont have 3 mm ball joints at the top or bottom of the shock Sorry , you will never get that shock to work on the TC6.1. |
Try raising your shock tower. It looks like it has two holes that are lower than where it is mounted now. that might give you the ability to get your ride height set right.

It looks like that car is a combination of a TC6.1 and a TC6.1 WC |
While looking at my own TC6 the Graphite shock tower should be mounted in front of the bearing cap uprights .Look at the set up sheet drawing a few posts before these, That car it has the rear tower wrong. , Ill try to post a picture

Going to change the shock tower location back to front for sure but the blue bearing caps seems correct or you mean right to left they are flipped?
My tc6 shocks are 59mm or so. You could use shorter shocks but that would mean having shock towers that lowered the shock upper mounting point, at this point aren't a necessity. |
