| Yes there aluminum, and there really smooth. Search for big bores on here and read what people have to say about them.  |

| Hey man, I just got me a set from JP Customs http://www.jpcustomrcs.atomicshops.com/Shocks.html I went with 90MM but that is about 1.2" shorter than stock, so if you want stock but a little lower go with 100 or 110MM.. They are aluminum, fully threaded bodies, and come with 2 sets of springs. Blue and red, red is the soft and blue is hard. Internals are of delrin I believe. REALLY smooth shocks, I love them! You can see pics of them in my AX10 build in my sig |

| traxxas big bores are worth every penny, and there perfect for your ax-10. I use them with 20wt oil all the way around and losi whites in the front and losi yellows in the rear, sorry (springs) they work awesome. |

| i just got a set of the Hot Racing shocks, i really like them with teh softer silver springs in them....check em out on TCS, they are as long as stock and are almost perfect i think with some 25 or 30 oil, just my .02, i am however putting the trax big bore ones with losi soft springs (yellow ones) on all 4 corners of my second ax10, they lower it down like almost an inch compared to stock and are really soft, i think it just depends on what you want but either would be a great choice! |

| I think with a stock axial you want to buy shorter springs because as a newbie all that articulation looks cool and it took me a while to realize I NEEDED to limit the articulation and lower the truck some. |

| I cannot attest personally because I have not run any. Sounds lame, but I was about to get the Big Bores and was presented with the introduction of a complete Losi set last week. As an avid Losi man, I can say that they have the best shocks around. I have never had a leak, blowout, or any problem with previous Losi's. I could have pieced them together and was about too, but the set came out and I bought them asap. It really depends on what you want lengthwise and what you want to spend. |
