Front/Rear Shock Shaft length question

[Jtttstrm21]

Hey guys

I have a Arrma Senton and was wondering if I can use Rear shock Shaft's to replace the front Shaft's that are bent?

I did order (AR330376) Front Shaft's but today received (AR330207) Rear Shaft's by mistake, and it's Friday so won't be able to return the item until Monday and was hoping to head out for a bash over the weekend.

Would the longer Shaft's give the front suspension more travel due to the longer length?

and will the front Springs be long enough?

Any advice would be great and apologies for the last minute post lol

Sorry for the late response, but I would be concerned that putting a longer shock shaft could be very bad for the shock. At least the shock cap, anyway. Big landing pushes the rod through the end cap, or breaks the piston internally. Hopefully it all worked out and you are able to returns them easily.

I took your advice and did not install the longer shock Shaft's, and returned them back to the store.

Thanks for helping out with that info as it has no doubt saved me time and money from not having to purchase and install more broken parts lol.
