| Wraith shocks
I am thinking about upgrading to some nice aluminum shocks for my Wraith. Do you guys have any good suggestions?

So I've heard the ProLine Powerstrokes are nice, but pricey! I'm also in the market for some shocks, so I'll be watching.... |

I use the RC4WD King 110mm on my Wraith. Very soft and "springy" but I really like how they work crawling.

I have the Jun-Fac G-Transition's on my Wraith running semi droop and it's great on the rocks but get's hung up a lot on trail's catching sticks,leaves, etc. Started out with Losi CC shocks and even tho they worked well they leaked all the time. Next I'm going with Traxxas big bores, they've never let me down in the past so they should be the last set of shocks my Wraith ever wears. My wife's wraith has the SCX10 shocks with aluminum bodies and caps and there perfect. No leaks and they just perform well.

Traxxas Big Bores. Excellent shocks. I can't think of a single bad thing to say about them.

1/8 buggy front shocks. I'm still dialing in ride height. I'm building a formula off road kinda rig or back yard basher. These are cheap zd racing shocks. I've the work out I may get some losing or ofnas. Last edited by evan03; 12-22-2012 at 08:21 PM. |

All four mounted and tuned Could possibly do the first drive tomorrow Enlarged 3 of the 6 passages to improve slow speed action hoping the 3 small holes will kick on jump landings. Ride height is just over mid stroke. Travel is just a little more then stock. Used 30wt oil in these |
