1/8th scale shocks (ID help & info) - Obsessive R/C - 08-11-2006 I picked these up for my buggy thinking they were Kyosho...can anyone confirm this?? The anodizing is the same as the K3 (that certain shade of blue) but I found the shafts are only 3.0mm vs. 3.5mm I did find out the K3 came with upgraded shocks / 3.5mm shafts that are 2.0mm longer than standard...so I'm guessing these may be MP7.5 - K1 or K2? Are these worth running or should I look into something with a 3.5mm shaft? Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks, ORC 1/8th scale shocks (ID help & info) - Ponch - 08-11-2006 I think I have a 3.0mm shock shaft also on my k2, and I've never had a problem with them bending.

To be honest, you can change alot on that car and not notice anything different.
