| What shocks to get?
Hey guys, Like just about everyone else I'm suffering from leaky shock syndrome (and springs popping off the perches) What shocks are people using to avoid leakiness? I've heard the TRX4 shocks are quite good, anything else that's worth getting? Also, what springs are you guys using on them? Not afraid to spend on good ones Cheers Simon |

Traxxas big bores FTW! Best deal is tra4962 which comes with enough to do 2 rigs for $60. |

Are big bores okay length wise for the SCX10? I thought they might be a bit long? Cheers Simon |

I run 2660's at the back, but that's with custom rear hoops to suit a pickup. | |

People don't really use internal spring shocks on scale crawlers do they? OP, you could also check out the King Shocks by RC4WD. Or the Pro-Line PowerStroke Scaler shocks.

Pro-line powerstroke scaler is good. Just don’t buy the RC3WD |

Is there a spring assortment set that works with the PL Scaler shocks for tune ability?

14mm Axial springs work fine on the Traxxas shocks with (Traxxas) spring collars. 12.5mm springs (as used on the SCX10-2 kits) work on Traxxas shocks without collar but will rub the shock body slightly. | |

They’re ok. Underdamped for my preference (and compared to big bores). They are not as smooth or leak resistant as the BB’s. The dual spring thing is just for show and leads to the mid collar that binds up with use.

TRX-4 shocks are the new scale standard, no leaks, smaller diameter therefore more scale looking, durable. | |
