Default Shocks with internal compensator. ???

Which ones have them? I want a shock that I can fill completely with oil that doesn't hydrolock when you compress it or have to leave air in for it to even work or only fill 3/4 full for that matter.

Sounds like you want shocks with a bladder. You can try using touring car shocks if you'd like. Most if not all TCs have shocks that utilize bladders.

Bladder, diaphram, inverted rubber cup, yeah something like that. Something to compensate for the volume of the shaft as the shock is compressed. The only ones I can think of are Tamiya shocks. Are there any others? I just want a shock that actually works like a real shock.

i think yeah racing and 3 racing have those rubber diaphrams, but not sure how good they are, cause i know there pretty cheap, and the yeah racing shocks have a range from60mm shocks to around 120mm or maybe more

Every TC manufacturer has them. AE, HPI, HB, Tamiya, Xray, TOP, Kyosho. Those are just off the top of my head. Tamiya's were always known in TC to have the smoothest shocks around. They might be a little short for 2.2 crawlers, but would probably do good on the 1.9 Losi.
