The shocks are the same in length as the rc 10, but are twice as thick (round)...According to R/C driver, traxxas is trying to get ROAR to be a little more ?lenient? or to change their rules, b/c MOST RTR ST's come with a .15 or larger .18--evader, and They want it to change so MOST RTR's are indeed ROAR legal....
It is a clever statement.....IMO.
