Honestly I couldnt tell ya:roll:...Dark Impact front shocks...Super smooth and adjustable...

They are made by 3racing correct? I run the same style shocks on all my rigs!! Usually the mini lst or mini inferno shocks, I will try the dark impact shocks next. How are the plastic tops holding up for you? I broke one so far :-(

Try changing the oil to 60 or 80 if you havent already, they feel really nice.

Tuber looks killer man "thumbsup"

ElChupacabra 10-08-2007 10:04 PM

Sickest tubers around. Hands down.... ....another gem!

Im running 4wt right now and they are Tamiya shocks (some of my favorites) I havent ran into any problems with the plastic tops but I use ball ends with all of them...

Where do you mount your batteries on a rig like this?

Just Zach 10-08-2007 10:19 PM

Adam, that looks great, you keep on building nicer and nicer crawlers. Its looking like I'm in trouble for State Finals.:roll::lol:

Cant argue with tamiya shocks, they are some of the highest quality you can get.

Heres the 3racing shocks, very similar.

They are smooth runners you wont be disappointed, then again R2J's shock havent let anyone down;-)...

Thanks Zach, this one was fun to make...I actually built the chassis last week and barely had the time to finish it...

Thanks for the comments guys"thumbsup"...

ThinkTank 10-09-2007 12:23 AM

Oohh , another awesome tuber from K9PoPo
and thanks for the reference for 3Racing Dark Impact shocks."thumbsup"
I found them on Fleabay, they're cheaper than I thought.

I wonder if R2J would stock them...

Rockmuncher 10-09-2007 01:34 AM

That is one awesome looking tuber!!!

Man I can't wait for my FatDog...all these K9 versions always look so hot.

I still have some ideas...we'll see if I can get them working.

Also the 3 Racing brand is good, but by no means do they come close to a real Tamiya shock. Tamiya's shocks have been long known as the best, too bad they reflect that in their pricing.

Those wheels look sick:shock:
