Sedan shocks (TC3)are the stock recommendation with Klein arms.

I Am Running Gt Arms..i Am Going To Build This One As A Conversion And See How I Like It..then Maybe Sell It And Buy A Full Setup. That Will Be Cheaper Than Buying Everything Seperate....eneyway I Have A Set Of Losi Buggy Shocks On The Front And They Seam To Fit Prity Good..but Would Rather Have Associated Stuff On It

Klein FAQ (http://www.kleinrcmotorsports.com/faq.php)
There are folks running GT arms on Kleins ..... I just haven't done it. I know that some of the Florida crew runs them that way. I too would like to know what shocks they are running with GT stuff.

Bigd, If you are running the conversion kit then you will need the buggy style front shocks on all 4 corners. The truck shocks are a little too long. The front shocks work great from a B-3 or B-4 buggy.

i know some of the fl guys running them with wide arms are using ds qual. rear shock towers, and the shocks they use appear to be something around the length of buggy fronts.

.56" to .71" front
.71" to .89" rear
Adjust the height of the Klein rear shock tower accordingly.

Great Pics Those Help A Bunch..it Looks Like Most Cars Run A Rotary..i Have A Moded Mt12 That Was Scary Fast In My On Road Car But It Has A Slide Carb Will It Be Too Punchey In A Sprinter ?.

Bigd, I run a slide carb V-12 on mine and it is not a problem. I like a slide carb for oval racing but it can be your preference. A slide carb will be easier for linkage set-up than a rotary carb.

BIGD3092,
If you get a chance you should come down to Adams Creek in Broken Arrow some Saturday night. We usually have at least 24 Nitro sprints every Saturday night. There are a Kliens, CW's, TMR's, local manufactured cars to look at and see in action. Races start at 5 pm. Springfield is not that far from the Tulsa area. Come on down and check it out.

Jack, what time is the oval ready for practice at ACR?

A website where alot of the ACR guys post up is www.okrcracers.com . The track at ACR is usually ready for practice between 1 and 2 pm and will close before heats begin for a good soak. Like Jack said, there are plenty of gas sprinters to check out first hand!

I am a little late to this, but I have a modded rear shock tower that works real good using front buggy shocks on my klein. If you want, email me and I will send you some pics
