Which do you feel are the best on a Berg?

I am in the market for some new shocks and 3.5" is what I need!

Help a crawler out

IMO I like the Losi 4" the best. So I just limit them to the length I need.
Also I believe that the Losi .9 shocks are close to 3.5".

Pat, try the HPI aluminum firestorm rear shocks they're a bit spendy but worth the money.

Traxxas big bores;

and losi springs (somthing around the white ones)

Just so you know, I am using Losi 4" now, I am tired of replacing cartridges. I have all the springs you could ever need, I mainly use Losi grey, white, and Integy blues.

I have used a few other brands of shocks and keep going back to losi 4" for what its worth

roksloski · 07-26-2009, 11:08 AM

GO with the HPI shocks.....

jfraymond · 07-26-2009, 11:18 AM

I just got the parts for a set of losi .9 to use on my Zero3.5. they work great.
The new axial comp shocks are pretty quality also.

Badd · 07-26-2009, 12:46 PM

I like the Traxxas bigbores for the slash/bandits / rustlers . Part number 2660 I think is right Pat .

I think the Hpi firestorm front shocks are 3.5". I use the 4" rear's and I've been very happy with them. They go together easy and they're very smooth.

I put traxxas short ball ends on the shaft end with some traxxas spring cups so I could run them with losi springs.

Flyin Hawaiian · 07-26-2009, 08:41 PM

All for the 3.5 traxxas big bores with the cap mod. I with you on the losi shock thing. They need to make some real o-rings. i love my 3.5 big bores on my KK zero works flawless and no more leaking.

Am I really gonna tripple post? Yes! Bigbores

Harvo · 07-26-2009, 09:22 PM

I have had good luck with G-Made Zeros. They don't leak, have pretty good ends, and are really smooth. I don't see many people using them tho. :?

dieselfuel · 07-26-2009, 10:07 PM

ive heard nothing but good about the HPI firestorm shocks. i run associated factory team GT2 front shocks, they're 3.5" and in over a year of using them ive only had to rebuild them once.

1beatjeep · 07-26-2009, 10:28 PM

Stampede/rustler 90 mm shocks work great and cheap also.

Top_Ramen · 07-26-2009, 10:37 PM

HPI Firestorm shocks FTW!

DiEzel · 07-26-2009, 10:42 PM

I still think these will make great comp shocks... especially since they appear to be skinny and light..
