Default TCS Gopher question

I've got a Gopher coming my way, but do any of you have an idea of what would be a good shock length to use?
I'm thinking the stock AX10 shocks would be way long.

Use Traxxas big bore XXL shocks or other similar four inch shocks.

They won't be to long?
I think I saw someone using even shorter shocks, 3" I think?!?

My son has a gopher (Caddyshack) and he has Traxxas big bores as a droop setup and they work awesome

Normal Traxxas Big Bore shocks are pretty short, they should be fine.

The stock shocks really won't be too long. I use hotbodies 4" aluminum shocks on my WK Gopher and I use the shorter 3" shocks on my 1.9 PeeWee Gopher.

You know it! After 15 pages of build thread and $1300 worth of parts it is pretty much done. It is a great rig to really bash hard on. It is almost bulleproof, except the axle cases.
