That's a pretty normal price for a used shock.

Yep I was watching RC prices and that was $10 less than my max. RC shocks are getting less common though. ND was ripping me as he knew I was bidding on it

Re: New toy for my RC!

the install should be easy. took me and a friend like a half hour to do mine. He pulled the bike over onto the kickstand getting the rear off the ground. unbolt everything then bolt the new stuff up. but knowing Sheep this is gonna be an over thought entire weekend project
