depends what the definition of work is. Of course they will go in the shock the orings are the same as the old shocks.. however they will leak as the shocks were designed around an o-ring that swells up (stock o-rings)
I ran tkyo orings in mine the first night i had them.. they leaked..they built pressure.. i took them out and put stocks in and it was much better.
Well, there you go. That makes complete sense to me. I'm really starting to think that this is a case by case kind of thing. Which then says to me, even after factoring out human error and/or experience working on RC cars, that there are some tolerance issues where the parts are made. I could be wrong, but that's just how I feel. But, like I said, your findings make a lot of sense to me.
