Any idea what these shocks are?

The front springs are tapered but they look like Kyosho gold perhaps?

Any help much appreciated

Kyosho option house w-5002 gold shocks rear turbo optima ultima salute looks identical.

Awesome thanks.

The rears look kyosho option house as you said but I'm not sure about the fronts which are tapered like avante front gold shocks. Maybe half kyosho, half tamiya?

Yes, the fronts are also Kyosho golds, but with Avante lower spring retainers and springs.

Thanks for the replies.

The body is an avante crudely modified to fit the 2001 chassis.

Was bought as is second hand as a present when I was a kid and it's been in the loft for 20+ years. One of the uprights broke and I never used it again.

I've stripped it down and will restore it. Maybe with an Egress body though. Avante 2001 body and decals going for £100 on eBay here.

You can get a excellent repro Avante 2001 body from TBG for $20.

Wow thanks! That didn't come up on my eBay here at all.
