Stock scx10 shocks, super soft springs (reds), its close to 50/50 droop/uptravel. It weighs a little over 7lbs. I'd like to pick up some bigbores, mini-t springs, and dlux lower spring cups for it. Would like to be 80% droop. |

For a while I ran 110mm shocks in full droop, worked great for off camber stuff, as well as climbs, the downside was ground clearance, in really rocky terrain it got hung up way to much so I switched back to some stock deadbolt shocks rebuilt with green slime and 35wt oil, they work ok but I've been looking at some other options.

Stock wraith shocks w/no springs. 50wt oil. 100% droop. Flat skid helps with belly clearance. Works pretty good when its very rocky and lots of traction, slow technical crawling. I feel like there is a better setup for general trailing. I'll probably go back to stock scx10 shocks for trail days with super soft springs . Rig is just shy of 7lbs. |

I ended up going with Gmade transition shocks set up with 70% droop and 30% down travel. Running 60wt oil. My truck works very well for trailing.

By droop do yall mean how much the shocks are compressed just under the weight of the truck? What are some of the pros to haveing more droop? I guess other than lower COG. And i guess main downfall would be ground clearance?
