Also, the piston rods or shock shafts should be 28mm in length. I suspect that the set you have are the right length. For a long shock build to 58mm or 57.5mm. for a short shock build to 56.5 or 56. Which goes where depends a lot on the motor you're using.
OK I wanted to make sure I gave you a bit more info. I have Tamiya part number 42102. The shafts are 28mm in length. How many shims would you put under the piston? I will probably use o rings because i have a bunch. Also what weight oil and which piston would you use. Thanks
Thank you so much for your help. I like to learn as much as possible about each of my chassis. I have had fun building this chassis. it is a bit technical which has been fun.
