Carter Talon/Baja Reaction 150 Shock Replacement...

Posts: 55

Do Blaster quad shocks fit on these buggies? front or back or both? do other shocks works? I'm just looking to replace the stock junk ones with something decent and preferrably used.

Yes, the will fit once you grind down the eyelets and add a shackle to compensate for the additional height. For $80, you can upgrade to new ones that bolt in from Buggy Depot.

I appreciate the asnwer, but i didn't quite understand what you meant by both statements. Shackles? and the ones from buggy depot... is that for all four shock or front or back?
thanks

The Blaster front shocks fit the rear of the buggy. If you get 14" shocks you only need to shave/grind the eyes, so they will fit in the mounting brackets. Guy, a former dune owner made shackles to accomodate a slightly longer shock. As for buggy depot If it's an upgraded shock i would assume that is for each shock. But the blaster shocks are fantastic. If you find some front shocks for that Reaction let me know.

Pghruby; would Travis' shocks work on the front of my Carter GSR ? Back shocks perform OK (some damping there), but front are basically just springs lame

Glade at Edgepowersports, looking into getting Carter parts for me, now I got Bad Wheel bearing on the GSR Help

Need Carter Parts !!! Gotta ditch my local dealer bitch slap v2

At least the Sand Spider ready to ride & holding up well, Very Happy

What length do you need? The Buggy Depot front shocks are 9.75" and the rear are 14.5". If you are close to that length, they should work. They are softer so you will get more compression at idle.

pghruby, I measured 13.5" back.... 12 5/8" front. I have some blaster shocks coming from ebay. I'll let everyone know how that goes in the next couple of weeks.

I was riding my buggy this weekend and the past few weeks i've been telling myself that these shocks can't get any worse and every time i go out They Get Worse! There's one trail that i used to ride on and now it absolutely violently shakes the living s**t out of me. it's murder. Hope i can resolve this shock problem soon.
