Re: 2012... 1/24 Maxim chassis....workable shocks!

Where did you get the female type hymes? I found some beads in a craft store that would work great but they are glass and CA won't stick to them.

Hey flying185, sorry I have'nt been on my post in awhile, but to answer your question, I cut the ends off of the shocks that come with the revell/monogram sprint kits. I just used a #71 or #72 bit and drilled out the ends where the shock shafts would press in. the shock shafts are just straight pins. you can get them virtually anywhere. the shock bodies are K&S alum. tubing.

Hope this helps you out


Bill ;)

great idea, I never thought of that. I have a few sets built already but didn't have ends for them yet. when I get more things done I'll post some pics.
