| Scale shocks
Does anybody know if the scale 90mm shocks (in silver) are any good. I think it was $30.00 a pair. Is it the same ones on the TF2? Thanks for looking |

Do you mean these? If so, in my opinion, i would say yes. but the soft springs are way to soft for a normal to heavy scaler. Maybe good for a droop set up or something. They do also sell some tougher springs that are decent and help correct this for the most part. |

Thats your call. I got the tougher springs, which if you have some similar in size you wouldnt have to buy extras and they seem to work decent, but im actually using a spring and shock set up in the rear which gives me more stability. To give you a more direct answer, for the money, i would say get another set that will provide better performance. |

The TS-02? i have a set that arent being used. I didnt like them as much, they seemed to have a lot more friction than these. Maybe some lube would have fixed it, but im sure others had better experiences with those.

I like the ts-02 myself, use them on my rig and not much friction at all. Also I think they handle more realistic to a 1.1 but I gotta a heavy rig...around 10lbs so I'm also using the stiffer springs, on a lighter rig, they would be too bouncy IMO. However, they don't have much travel which I'm ok with cuz a road worthy 1.1 wouldn't flex as much as a crawler....plus I like the challenge of taking a line a wraith could easily do |

Here's a pic of a recent outing showing the flex of these shocks...I'm running four link rear and three link front using stock scx10 shock hoops in original frame mount holes. Suspension at full flex.. |

| I had those on my rig and yes they are bit soft, however I ran leaf front and rear with stiffer springs cuz my rig was heavy. So like the other guys said, run stiffer springs unless yer going for a droop setup
