What are some good shocks and I've seen lowering kits any recommendations would be nice thanks!

[tavis43]

From what I have read powerstrokenation are good and the Kings suck. I have looked at the Kings and they seam cheesy to me

[Farabomb]

I have the Gmade external res ones on my SCX10 and AE team shocks on my wraith. Both work great but if I was to do it again I'd have to try the powerstroke ones as well.

[Mitchell72]

I see everybody is running the king shocks but they don't look great to me performing wise

[EeePee]

Powerstrokenation sounds a little light in the loafers, if you know what I mean.

I run Gmade Piggybacks in the Front / Rear but put the aluminum cap (instead of the piggyback) on the fronts.

Works well for me with soft springs / 35wt (F) and medium springs / 45wt (R).

Very responsive, doesn't bottom out on most little jumps/trail running and my rig is pretty heavy.

I'm gonna go with the powerstrokes! Is there anything else I'll need to mount these up to the wraitg

You could probably Magiver something but the proline universal mounting kit is cheap and makes it easy.

I'm waiting for proline to get the 5" powerstrokes out.

I snapped one of the gmade shock shafts like a twig, but I still like them and replaced with the Ti shafts from the proline kit. I think they were about 5-10mm shorter and this is perfect. I probably should have started with the proline slash rears, as it would have been cheaper lol.

[Farabomb]

That's good to know, finding parts for the gmade's isn't always easy.

I use fuel tubing and extra screws to mount all my aftermarket shocks.

Yeah I think I got the stock parts from amazon, took forever, I think it shipped from china. Also the proline shafts are nutted, so different pistons, rod ends etc.
