Big Bore shocks - I dont`get this ....

[mtc777]

I was looking at the manuals and one thing just poped into my eyes:
You have to use the bottom ball-cups and steel balls from stock shocks ?????
I mean they are considered best shocks, they cost nearly 70$, alu shock towers and two turnbuckles are included, but they couldn`t include 2 ball-cups and 2 balls which probably cost 0.01 $ ?

Imagine buying a Ferrari, but it come without wheel nuts and you must use the nuts from your previous car ...

Sorry Exotec, but that's really lame.....

very easy to do .once i did that had no problems.
i think they are really made for a bigger car .what freaked me out was when i didn't read the directions and installed the ball cups it came with and they didn't work!
but yes they should of switched them by now

They don't have a problem with the install, it's the fact that they do not included the shock ends and steel balls with the kit.

Easy or not, it is not the point. The point is they cost twice as all other shocks and they save on two pieces of plastic ...

I was thinking the same when I installed mine. It's dumb that they arnt included for the price. I'm with 50 on thinking they are for another rc and were just adapted for us. I'm curious about what they were for originally. Maybe we got more spring options out there, mine got "T6" printed on them.

Probably a touring car, it would be nice to find out which one though.
