Brandon Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hello! Anyone own a glamis uno and they know the length of the stock shock absorber shaft as my one snapped after a crash. I would measure the length myself but I don't won't to take apart the shock just yet as I dont know the weight of oil vaterra used. So if there is anyone that can help me, that would be very much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tchy Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Front or rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 The rear one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tchy Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 63mm thats the total length of the shaft. I have replaced my shocks with ansmann style ones and have 1 spare shaft left over from when I broke one of mine. If you want it pm me your address and I could post it.

Brandon Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Ok thank you very much! I've just ordered the aluminium shocks from vaterra so I hope to get them soon. And will that shaft not come in handy as a spare for you then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tchy Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I don't need it as I have different shocks now. The vaterra ones are prone to breaking at the bottom where they screw into the rod end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Yeah that's where mine broke, so I just decided to get complete new ones. Do the ansmann style shock fit perfectly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 You could temper the shafts by heating them until they are literally red hot then drop them in some cold car oil. Done that on my xtm drive shafts, haven't broke one in 4 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Ahh ok that sounds like something I could do! I'll have to wait for my new shocks to come first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
