Greetings !
Thanks Ralph and Maico,
I did a search for the set 8420 and didn't see any more info. I hadn't noticed
the shock in the 8369 so thanks for that info. How many shocks were included in
the 8369 RC car set? I looked closely at the catalog picture and it appears
they use one shock for the front suspension. Does the model count on light
weight of the car to not compress the shocks to change the extension lock? I
guess that would mean you could compress the shocks while they are in the model
and change it from a "off road" to a "low the ground, lower center of gravity "
car. pretty cool design IMO.
Thanks again for your information!!
John
