Default Tamiya shock adapters?

How can I make my Tamiya shocks fit on my xray t1fk04? They are the same length as my xray's, but i have no adjustabliity in them, because even with the shock collar at the top, i still have about 8 mm of ride height, and if i screw the collar down, i can practically call my car off road capable. So what should I do?

Dude, you did something wrong. I don't know what, but something is off.

Yeah, nice thought.
I know you need a battery of stuff to make those Tamiya Shocks fit, so if your using the Xray stuff it will come out off.

Hi, I run Tamiya shocks on my FK05.

I use shock towers specifically designed for Tam shocks.

PM, TRF415boy for details of where to get some.

They are alot lower than the standard towers and are made of 3mm carbon, i'm sure they'll be fine on the 04 aswell. Hope this helps.

BTW BR is awesome BR2 not as good as the original but still very good.
