Another vote for the Losi 4" Crawler shock set, part # LOSA5082. The only downside is Losi is backordered so you need to find a retailer with a set in stock. Before the losi's I tried Traxxas Big Bore Alum shocks and while they were a upgrade over the stock plastic shocks (what isn't), they still leaked badly. The Losi's have not leaked a drop since installing them and are FAR smoother. Note, the Losi shocks are shorter then the stock shocks and you will need to make some changes to accomodate. |

anyone try the aluminum threaded emaxx shocks? I happen to have an extra set and was going to swap out - wondered if anyone has used them and how they performed.

I went from 30wt to 50wt in the Losis and am much happier with them. I'm considering trying 70wt in the back. | |

Im running JpCustomRcs threaded aluminum shocks. 30wt with the blue springs. They are smooth and dont leak. I got the 110mm ones since the 100mm were out of stock.
