thank you for any info.

Yes, those are what I use. They are from Dlux Fab, they are listed as Big Bore shock ends I believe. They go right into the Prolines.

Any chance you have those link lengths handy? Just started my 1.9 MZ build, and need to put links in my next parts order.

Thanks!

It's been a long weekend but a lot of fun! 2014 Crawlapalooza is in the books, and the Ultra4 was my weapon of choice.

It really did amazing all weekend. Anything that had to deal with speed, this rig killed it on. I took first in the Hill Climb and second in the sprint, and I'm claiming PTSD issues on the sprint run as I had a run going to was only matched by the Yeti XL before a 1/4 stick of BOOM went off near me and sent me into crazytown!

Overall, the only area I could have wished for anything more was in the Comp Crawling. But beyond that it was perfect!

This winter I'm going to dig into this thing, and I may even have plans for another one if I really want to start getting dumb!

So are the rear slash pro line shocks the right choice? Starting to order parts.
Thanks in advance..

They have been great for me. If you are planning on going fast, then yes they are a great choice. If you want a more crawling friendly shock, I would go with a big bore from Traxxas.

Im using front pro lines on my wraith and they work great. So I'll go with the slash rears on my ultra4. I'm going to be building a track out here at Irvine Lake Rc. Right now we just run 1/5 scale. I'll post a video when it's all done. Thanks for all your videos and help!

Did you take your pictures down? I'm working on a MZ U4 now and was looking for ideas. Thread started out good with hosted pics but none of the later FB ones work.
