Axial makes the shock bodies but you still have to use the plastic caps. You could go with a set of Big Bores in alum.

since most people are putting 1/2 to 3/4 inch spacers inside the shock to lower the ride-height , Losi rear off-road shocks work well also.  |

Im running duratrax evader shocks upside down with ax10 shock shafts and soft spring up front. Lowered my ride height a bit, offers a lot of tunnig options and the shocks are very smooth compared to stock shocks.

Integy MSR10 shocks are pretty cool looking and are non-piggy back but I've yet to see someone run them. I'm currently using Traxxas Big Bore shocks (4962) but the top caps had to be modified. I used a dremel to grind the upper cap mounting hoop down to the cap, then drilled a 3/32 hole through it, put a screw through the bottom of the cap into the same style of link that's on the bottom end, and replaced the diaphram. No leaks and works great. photo of modified Traxxas Big Bore shocks using their aluminum caps with link ends:  Last edited by moonweed; 11-20-2007 at 01:29 PM. Reason: photo added |

I heard the traxxas big bores have aluminum caps which are interchangeable with the stock ax10 ones. Not for sure tho bro might want to verify with someone running the big bores.

Hey i'm looking to replace my stock shock's with the traxxas big bores, but the question is .. Can i install it without any modification to the mounting spots and the shock itself? and how many cm or inches will lower my rig because as i can see the big bores are shorter than the stock shocks cheers!!!

you will not problem dropping the shocks but you may need to move upper link to adjust. it will change the height of your rig. I can't remember what is the original height but mine is now 52mm high you can see my of changes http://gallery.mac.com/xtremeracingteam | |
