carl edwards Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 the gt14b shocks dont have the ball ends in the bottom off the shock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 They will be fully assembled and turn up like mine ball inserted top and bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 If they didn't arrive with ball ends, you could buy some small ball ends and put them in, it's cheap enough. I fancy using the Pro-Line ones but not sure exactly which ones they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 The emb shocks should fit too with no problems I tried the carisma shock on my emb and it was a direct fit. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silone74 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Gearing is not really a problem I get my wheels from hong kong cheaper than any where else, shumacher also do some good wheels and rally block tyres for indoor.

carl edwards Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 i got mine from hong kong aswell mate and thier 1/10 wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Only problem is I once bought some from HK and the rubber was ridiculously soft, like their was no foams in them and the rubber was the same thickness as paper lol. So it put me off because they aren't listed the best in their Chinglish conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
