Nice! I will grab some of those as well as the rear shocks from the Losi if I can get that seller to just sell me the 60mm ones. That way I can design a mount to fit multiple offerings. Thanks for the link!
Edit:
I wish someone would design some nice oil filled true-to-scale shocks for these trucks =(
Welcome to the family! I think I'm the only one who frequents this forum as much lately. I have heard that Mini T shocks work, I have a friend who has a bunch. But these are cheaper and would require less modification to fit since you could fit the stock springs
... Here's a video of someone using the LC racing shocks which you could probably use as a guide for mounting the MiniT shocks

That guy has a nice truck. I wish I knew enough about electronics to build that light kit he made. That was awesome.
Yeah, I have seen those. Might have to grab one just to learn how to make them.
I still read also. I plan on running some shocks pulled off a Dromida SC18. New aluminum chassis rails are in the works that will add higher shock mounting points...
Also need to design some new axle trusses / link mounts, and finally make a decision on what I'm going to use for links...
Also on the radar are new braces, and maybe even a new CMS/front motor setup. Anyone know a similar scale vehicle that runs a smaller 3-gear style transmission? (1/18 scale 2wd SCT maybe?) Looking for a source for gears to design around...

I don't think anyone make a 3-speed transfer case in this scale. You can use these links and metal trusses (I think that's what they're called)
The SC18 shocks are about the size of the A959 shocks marketed for these trucks. I don't think there are any externally sprung shocks that are soft enough for these to be honest. That's why I go with the LC racing shocks
These links are the ones I'm going with

I have the exact same shocks. I have been meaning to dig my stock Dromida shocks out and and see how they fit. I have a brushless DB18. Nice little rc's. I think they have been cloned by WLToys in the 959 series right?
I beat the hell out of mine and they are pretty durable. But I also have all the aluminum upgrades on mine. I mentioned the 959 because you can't get parts for the Dromida as easily anymore. But if those Dromida shocks work, the WLToys A959 shocks should be identical. Just guessing though.
Maybe in size, but the 959 stock shocks don't hold oil very well and they have metal shock caps
You can get shocks for the A959 that are better than the stock shocks.
70mm shocks work best if you make a riser plate to mount them above the frame.
I have been modeling up the chassis to make it easy to design 3d printable parts for this truck, and 70mm looks to be a bit long for these trucks. Do you have any pics handy of 70mm shocks on a C series truck?
All of latest batches of trucks come with the brass gears C14 and C24, if you get one with plastic you got an older one.
