Would it be a good choice to get the tlr internals of the shocks and Put them in the v5 shocks? Would they be any weaker? Im not a racer so i do not understand all of the things the tlr shock does. Anyone has an input on this?

Yeah, the rear shock tower is higher, its clear from the photos.Sorry I meant the meant tower shock height are different V5-TLR?
So only the pistons would work on the v5? And the x ring and POM inserts wouldnt bit becausE the cartridge of the v5 shocks is too small?Yeah, the rear shock tower is higher, its clear from the photos.
First thing to understand is when you want to make a shock longer (because you want more option for droop) you have to make both the body and the shaft longer - as they need to match in length. The problem when you make the shock body longer and you keep the same mounting point is that the "center" of the shock (the position where the shock body ends and the shaft begins) is lowered (as the shock body is now longer), which limit your compression, so you gained droop but lost compression.
So if you want to gain droop but keep the same compression position, you basically have to make the shock twice as long as the droop you wanted to achieve (in the case of the TTLR, they wanted to make the droop 3mm longer, so the shock is 6mm longer) , and mount the shock half the length higher (3mm), so now the position of the center of the shock is kept, and the droop is bigger.
Hope that was clear.
Can you repeat this in English I cannot brain today I has teh dumb.Yeah, the rear shock tower is higher, its clear from the photos.

I just double checked all the TLRT parts. Every single part found on the TLR tuned shocks will crossover to any 6s shocks. Note: New X-rings and POM bottom cartridge parts need to be used together, but will fit the standard 6s Red shocks. As will the POM (delrin) Pistons.So only the pistons would work on the v5? And the x ring and POM inserts wouldnt bit becausE the cartridge of the v5 shocks is too small?
Aside from the rear tower geometry, all the shock parts are interchangeable. As crossover parts.They are far from being similar to the v5.
Apart from the piston, the shock cartridge is derlin as well, which matches an X-ring instead of an O-ring. the cartridge is apparently thicker, so the shafts both front and rear was made 2.5mm longer to compensate for that.
Additionally the rear shock is a substantial 6mm longer than in the v5 (3mm longer body + 3mm longer shaft, actually the shaft is 5.5mm longer, but as i said above 2.5mm of that is just to compensate for the cartridge)
the longer shocks in the rear requires a taller shock tower, i wouldnt install the longer TLR shocks on a v5 tower.
IIRC it is M3 thread.What mm is the shock rod end on the tlr shocks. I'm trying to find some aluminum ones to upgrade if y'all know any.
Yeah sorry idk what size it is my digital caliper syas 3.2mm.I already bought some yr m3 rod ends and they don't Fit. Fit my 1/10 scale shocks tho.

Weird guess I'll just keep extra stock onesYeah sorry idk what size it is my digital caliper syas 3.2mm.
You could try the Tekno rod ends that is what I ran on mine for years. https://www.teknorc.com/shop/tkr614...nd-spring-perch-set-updated-2019-16mm-shocks/Weird guess I'll just keep extra stock ones
