Hi there guys here are the new LST XXL shocks that i have had the shafts & bodys cut to custom sizes to what i want to run on a race savage when the track surface is rough and the jumps are large, I currently run 4 jammin big bore 16mm rear shocks with 37.5 oils all round but these will give me another option.

On the far left : jammin rear 16mm big bore shocks ( i run these on all 4 corners on my race savage )

Next three shocks : new custom size front shocks ( 14mm of the shafts and shock bodys ) front of the racer

Next three shocks : new custom size rear shocks ( 9mm of the shafts and shock bodys ) rear of the racer

2nd on the right : stock savage shock for reference

When cutting the bodys down to size i had to rebate a new groove on a shock body for the o ring seal also

How'd you shorten the shafts?

I machined the thread along the shaft and cut away the section i wanted and beveled the bottom edge to get the length i wanted for front and back.

I also machined the shock bodys with the new o ring groove and cut away the extra length of body and beveled the top edges of the bodys and thats the finished results, large lst xxl shocks cut to sizes i wanted.

Real nice job Savagesam.

I have some MSR8 shocks I want to shorten. But I was just going to cut the spring down a ring at a time until I have my desirable length. Take a heat gun to the spring and flatten the bottom of the spring so it fits flat.

Would this work or do I actually have to do something with the shock shafts too?

Nice job, but you should of just got an LST2 and problem solved

hhmmmm you got me thinking now..

Looks EXACTLY like losi muggy shocks to me.......

We have been doing that for years to our lst trucks. The muggy shocks are just a tad bit shorter shock shafts and shock bodies than the standard length lst shocks.

matt!!! wats goin on strainger

Reggie!!! Wassup dude? I saw you got the t 2.0 now....

I bet your tearing it up with that ain't ya?

correct the losi muggy shocks are 9mm shorter shafts and shock bodies.

i went with front 15mm shorter shaft & body and rear 10mm shorter shaft and body so the rear shocks are close to the muggy shocks..

i had a friend lend me his muggy shocks to test before making these to the sizes i want and they are shown with out any preload at all in those pics

1st time out will be saterday...then we got a big race here in md nxt saterday its a sponcerd event and a buddy of mine put in a good word for me so i gota get some practice with the 2.0...shoot me a pm or someting..we missing you on the forums dude!
