Think they will fit the ZX1-R since the ones on ebay were supposed to be for a X-ray?

Possibly, the Xray shocks i believe fit a Mugen so should fit the ZX-1R

Hey, just so you know.... I was going to buy those but didn't want to get into a bidding war with someone here, lol.

I'll keep waiting on the Caster ones... and for now I still have my Losi cars so I could borrow those if I can't help myself.

I appreciate it man?&^. I am going to try them on the buggy. If I do not like them (which I think I will ) then I will let you know if you want them.

Well I just put these shocks on my buggy but the thing sits too high! I have no shock spacers in them and only 30wt shock oil, what gives? The front shocks are the same length as stock and the rear are just a bit longer. I got 3 different color sets of springs with them, blue, green, white. The blue felt softest in my hands. I am wondering if they will settle in with the new shock fluid.

Maybe look at the shock spring retainers.
The caster ones might be off set a bit lower

But these are big bores so the springs are too big for those shock retainers.

You can use Kyosho Lime Green Springs and they are shorter so that should do you fine. cam

Lime green springs from the buggy I am assuming right? I just tried the white springs I got with these shocks and it is alot better. Have to run it to find out. If not I might try these on the K8T since it weights more but I think it will be good.

Well I had no luck KMW with the shocks on the buggy. Did not want to go buy Kyosho buggy big bore springs. The buggy just sat up too high. I took the KMW's and put the Kyosho Truggy springs I already had and put them on the K8T and they seem to work perfect. Will try it out this weekend. At least I can put the ST-RR back together. Poor thing just sits there collecting dust while my Caster's have all the fun! LOL!
