Havent used them personally but in general I don't care for those type of shocks...May as well just let all the oil out of your stock shocks and run it like that. Oil filled shocks I feel work much better. |

They aren't too bad, the spring is too soft though but they offer stiffer ones. With the soft springs they work better when paired with leaf springs, instead of just by themselves.

ok,that's kind of what i felt,but since i'm a greenhorn i figured i'd ask. they really are bouncy,lol. not so much when it's being driven,but when you tap on the top of the rig when it's sitting still it's like bouncing a ball.

If you want those type of shocks for scale looks that's one thing but you will never get the true performance of oil filled shocks..Even stock shocks would perform better if they don't leak. I mean they do work meaning compress and rebound over stuff but its not optimum performance for a shock and it never will be. You may not notice a difference driving very very slow over whatever but with any sortof speed over bumpy terrain it will become a lot more apparent they don't compare to oil filled shocks Last edited by 6sharky9; 12-31-2013 at 09:45 PM. | |

I disagree with all of this. I run Gmade ts01's with an internal spring and they perform just as good as any oil filled shock on the market. Yes, they're a different brand than the rc4wd but the concept is the same. They key is to load it with the right amount of grease so the spring isn't bouncing "freely". I've won comps against wraiths and fully built scalers with these shocks and the scale looks plus performance makes em incredible. I know everyone's experience will be different with these types of shocks but all I'm saying is there are options out there for a good internally sprung shock - Richard | |

ok,i ditched the scalers and put some traxxas big bores on it...very nice shocks...the 2 lighter of my rigs will be running these for sure...i just bought the 8 pack tmaxx set and just added 30w oil and set the ride height...pink springs rear and white front...my heavy rig has the losi comps on it...white springs,unsure on oil as i have not removed them to see what's been done internally either...i may just switch them to all traxxas just for a spare parts factor what are the internal oem pistons for the losi comps,2 or 3 hole? |
