Question what shocks are you using?

This has probably been discussed before but I want to know what are the best shocks you have used or are currently using on your scx10. Post pictures also if you have some.
I have a rtr scx10 and I was looking to upgrade the stock shocks.
Can those get filled with oil? And what oil weight would you recomend for a scale truck?

The stock scx shocks are oil filled. For what it is, I think they are decent shocks. Stock oil is 30wt i believe. The stock setup is pretty capable and I doubt they should be your first upgrade.

The most popular upgraded shock have got to be the Pro-Line Powerstrokes and the Traxxas Big Bore (xxl size.) both of these will probaly add some ground clearance too.

Im using the prolines, I didnt see any differance, except looks and money. And if you want stiffer springs they cost.
I thought they where a waste of money that could have been used on something else.

Hi,
I'm using stock shocks with aluminum body,no bumpers, soft/supersoft front springs and supersoft/supersoft rears.
It works great...
