ue shocks

[maxxmasher8]

ok i am in the process of getting shocks and I've heard that all the ue shocks were were ofna shocks off of the hyper 7 or sumthin but i was wondering if the ue shocks are the same as the shocks on the ofna titan because they look the same but the threader on the shock is red or oranger or whatever.

please reply

thanks,

I believe the UE shocks are off of the rear of the Ofna 9.5.

Been said but never proven. They do look similar.

The UE shocks are a great investment. I just got some for dirt cheap!

Why does it matter?

They are good shocks. They do look identical to the OFNA 9.5 shocks. When I buy parts for them, I buy the parts for the 9.5 shocks. Like shock shafts and disks. I've bent one and broke one. I've had the shocks for almost 2 years. I've run 4 on my savage for the past year and I ran 4 on a 21 t-maxx for a year or so.

Yes they are the OFNA 9.5 rear shocks...supposedly that's the only OFNA buggy using their new Super Shock......I personally preffer the Kyosho shocks...I think the seals are better and blow out less but I run 8 shocks @ 50wt w/ soft springs sometimes
Olds have you seen this kit from UE for spare parts

UE isn't usually the best price for stuff but this is worth it...

I got that kit with my UE shocks on ebay. picked my shocks up for about $40, and it came with all the springs, standoffs, and the motherlode rebuild kit. The shocks are barely used too!!!

Yeah, I've seen it, but it doesn't include shafts. When you buy a shaft at tower, it includes the disk and nut/washers to hold it on.

I may need to get some ball ends with the balls though. Mine are getting a bit sloppy. Although, they include a bunch of extra stuff when you buy the shocks from them anyway. I think I just need to go through the stuff I have.

Thanks for the link though.

That's cool.

I bought mine new a few years back for $54 a set of 4. They were new.

I got a kit a while back and it came w/ everything but the shock bodies and springs......
