Talion Blew out a front shock

[yeroc1982]

Broke a front shock today. What else will fit these? I only need 1 but I'm sure they come in a pack of 2....

@yeroc1982 check out the DEX8T shocks from Team Durango, many members here seem to be pretty happy with them.

I buy the china brand shocks from EBAY, are exactly the same design, color and dimensions. Its a no brainer where ARRMA is getting their parts from.

There may be minor differences here and there, they work as it should and can withstand the punishment when bashing.

can you confirm these are the ones???
140mm F81005

I am pretty much certain those are the ones. There may be minor differences between sellers. I think I found them for about 11 dollars shipped, those are too expensive. Let me take measurements when I get back from work this afternoon, and if possible snap a few and upload. The China chinchins, as I call them lol, come w slightly stiffer springs. Its a matter of using the stock ones, play/tune w oil weight, spring collar adjustments.

These are the ones that I found, based on another post by @crankenstein.

In terms of mm size its close enough to OEM, maybe 2 or 3mm off give or take, the 140mm / 122mm.

Some correction, the 118mm is about 6 to 7mm shorter. Its been a while since I bought mine, and its difficult to track because seller and merchandise changes quick on Ebay, most of the time. Thank you Hotshot, it helped update some of the information I had states earlier.

For the front, something close to the ones shown in the link, 122mm;

And for the rear setup;

It does not to be that same seller or item, its to give an idea to the ones I bought. Am not qualifying to any A-main soon, they are (imo) ideal for bashing.

Good luck
