I'd say forgo the shelf and go for the new shocks...that wreckluse is too sweet looking.

I started my wreckluse build by replacing the axle gears with Axial's heavy duty bevel gear set (43T/13T). They keep the torque twist very much in check.

I did however have to make fiberglass shock extensions to lower the front Proline shocks and increase ride height as the shocks were a little on the short side but i can tell you that they are smooth as butter. The rears are smooth as well. Oh,... and no torque twist.

Hope you reconsider keeping it on the shelf.

I was just fed up with it at the time. I'll probably need to run it in our TTC, as I don't have anything else right now.

It definately will get some new shocks. Maybe the over/under HD R&P's too.
