I am looking for ideas on shocks. I was hoping you could post your pic and tell us how they are working. Thanks.

losi 4" crawler shocks. less scale but better performance and i built my shock towers for a 4" shock.

Diesel's 1.9 SCX/Scout build.

Hydro-Tank · 01-21-2011, 04:01 PM

I was wanting to know the same thing. Anyone want to post up besides dieselfuel?

ROLANDROCKSHOP · 01-21-2011, 04:04 PM

stock scx-10 shocks with axial alum bodies.
made a big difference.

on my xj build "black beauty"
and 3 of my other scx builds.

2slow2race · 01-21-2011, 04:07 PM

i use traxxas t or emaxx shocks with losi white springs

Black Venom · 01-21-2011, 04:19 PM

I used the Axial 103mm shocks works for me way more usable travel than the stock shocks

WIDELOAD · 01-21-2011, 04:26 PM

Stock scx10 on one rig with different springs and sneaky internal mods to the rears.
Proline powerstrokes on my other rig....
No issues with either.

2500hdon37s · 01-21-2011, 04:30 PM

the only shocks i would use with the scx-10 qould be the stock shock shocks or the same axial ones with alum parts or the pro-line powerstrokes

I have seen you post this over and over. Why is this? Have you used any others?

discgolferlee · 01-21-2011, 05:40 PM

Stock shocks... just bought some red large springs to try out on the stockers.

08sv · 01-21-2011, 05:52 PM

proline 6060's. nice action in them but wish they were a tad longer. haven't used the included extender yet with them. i'm running 25WT. in 'em.

Mega Fattie · 01-21-2011, 06:09 PM

Losi 4" crawler shocks.

My Axial shocks are garbage right out of the bag.

evo5 · 01-21-2011, 07:19 PM

Stock SCX10 shocks with aluminum axial bodies,super soft/soft front springs and super soft/super soft rear springs...

ROLANDROCKSHOP · 01-21-2011, 07:28 PM

note...
to get just a tad more length out of your shocks
look at different rod ends.
traxxas rod ends are just a tad longer than the axials.

tra#1942-2 sizes come in the package..

i feel that these 2 shocks are best suited to the scx-10 and thats all this chassis needs for good preformance and if you go any longer you get a higher COG than needed. ive also tried traxxas big bores (from a rustler) on it and did not like it at all. sat much too tall. i will not be getting taller shocks when i get the 1.9 rc4wd boggers either (just ordered them).

after all its a scale rig it doesnt need a lot of flex, and it preforms best with a 90-95mm shock IMO

stick-boy-rick · 01-21-2011, 08:24 PM

associated sc10 rear shocks, front and rear on my honcho

Benzbuildr · 01-21-2011, 08:37 PM

I run Proline Powerstrokes with 25wt oil.

canadianbacon · 01-21-2011, 08:47 PM

Stock SCX-10 shocks, going to run them until I can't anymore (or until I buy some 100mm dual spring scale shocks from RC4wd

)

Cableman · 01-22-2011, 08:51 AM

Stock shocks with tra2742 links on the bottom!

aluminum bodies would probably be a good upgrade and i may do that in time.
