which shocks are the best?

[C*H*U*D]

I just got the Axial Comp shocks, and at first they leaked like they were made of cheese cloth. Once the proper O-rings are installed they are great.....very smooth and easy to adjust. I want to spend some more time with different springs, but so far I like them. Just wish Axial had provided a ball mount on top....other than that no complaints.

I got my O-rings in the plumbing section of my local hardware store for 30 cents each....just a bit bigger than stock (replacement is on the left):

Losi springs fit the big bore shocks?

HAs anyone ever ran Jato shocks on their rig? I got some but they seem a bit short.

Thoughts?

Really for 60$ you can buy the T/EMaxx alloy shocks which is a far better option in my humble opinion. Then you can sell the 4 unused for 25 to 30$.

[k20man]

ok, thanks madforce

On my heavily modified AX-10, I'm running Proline Powerstroke dual rates. Seem to work really well.

I had a set of those on a emaxx I think. They seemed to work well on it. Not that a person can tell much when bombing around at full speed hitting everything in sight.. Glad I sold the emaxx
