V12, as stated, Mugen is the way to go, they set the standard years ago. They are great in every aspect, build quality and performance. Close Second would be Serpent's when built right. But another thing in the EU, the Mugen parts are easier and at times cheaper to get than any other!

Good luck with your project.
So, I run 1/10 scale dirt oval and have been looking for a smoother shock and came across this. Are the Mugen shocks considered big bore or are they the regular body shocks like the older Tamiya TRF, HPI, etc that used to come on 1/10 touring cars? I don't have room to run the big bore stuff. If possible, could one of you measure the outside of a shock body for me?
