Default Shock set for 6.1


Anyone know a decent replacement shock, yeah, yokomo or 3 racing part # that works well with these, an original set seems to be unobtanium and not ready to drop the cash on a set of tc7 s... if they work on this that is.
Anyone know what shocks are shown in pic.
Discovering my ride height is 10mm and no spacers to remove !!

On a set up sheet there is a position #7 That would be for this setting, I don't know the reason for it though. Maybe someone can explain before I do a change.




Trying to determine what position #7 is for here.

After some googling I believe these are 55mm TC3 shocks and pretty sure I need 50mm .

Those aren't TC3 shocks. I think 55mm are the correct size, 50mm is m-chassis size.

The upper bearing caps are flipped around, going to try that!

About the upper link, no that's not pro-squat and that #7 hole shouldn't be used on the rear tower as that lower roll stiffness too much and messes up camber gain. Both critical to have a good handling car.

Going to change the shock tower location back to front for sure but the blue bearing caps seems correct or you mean right to left they are flipped?

These are 55mm all the way around yet my ride height is 10mm with no where to adjust them lower, very confused and this is why I usually build from a kit LoL, no wondering when bag A , bag B

Those are not associated TC6 Shocks or TC3 , They almost look like Traxxass shocks

If you bought that used you got the wrong shocks , TC 6 shocks dont have 3 mm ball joints at the top or bottom of the shock

Sorry , you will never get that shock to work on the TC6.1.

Try raising your shock tower. It looks like it has two holes that are lower than where it is mounted now. that might give you the ability to get your ride height set right.

That whole is for the Innermost ballstud mounting from the TC6.
It looks like that car is a combination of a TC6.1 and a TC6.1 WC

Yes they are flipped right to left so the shock tower faces outward.

My tc6 shocks are 59mm or so. You could use shorter shocks but that would mean having shock towers that lowered the shock upper mounting point, at this point aren't a necessity.

Thank You.
Found and ordered a set from TQ on their 6.1 parts page.
It appears that the owner before me tried to do a world's car modification to the rear links. Going back to stock but... i did find pieces to upgrade correctly to worlds type link settings,just need to find all the parts to it.
