If you can tell us what shock it is that would help immensely.

I got my hpi savage X 4.6 second hand so not sure what shocks they are but they look like the ones on hpi #A712. Just maybe different shock shafts.

Looks like it might be these:

Assuming you got the correct type of shock shaft, yes. Only issue I foresee is that if you bottom out you will likely throw the piston into the shock cap. Obviously the potential for damage is great if you do that. If you are a basher I wouldn't recommend it.

I suspect these would work.

you could use the longer shafts if you put a limiter on the outside so they couldn't push the piston up far enough to hit the shock cap, you may lose a bit of suspension compression but it outta be very little in the loss and save you having to get new shocks....

Or... just pitch them and get a set of the plastic big bores from a flux or other savage on ebay. I really like those shocks on my X. Having 4 means half as much breakage!

That shock looks like it is for show. Its so clean and looks brand new-how much use on that thing before it broke?

I agree with olds97
