Default best alum. ax10 shocks for droop

I'm using the stock shocks right now and cannot get them to stop leaking! I want to know whats the best aluminum shock to replace them with? I need the same length as the stocks and I know i can build the stocks with aluminum bodies but for $25 for 2 bodies then needing aluminum caps is a rip. Post up what you think.

Can you run the Losi 4" crawler shocks in a droop setup?

traxxas big bores are pretty close to the stock lengths

the losi shocks are shorter, but a great choice

i run drooped losis on my slingshot and they work good and give me more flex than the revos

i personaly think 130mm is far too much for any shock. droop or standard. i would go to the losi 4" (100mm) i also like the traxxas BB

I like the Duratrax Evader shocks, they have no shock caps & are fairly cheap. The ones I use are from the 1st gen evader, the evader ext shocks are plastic bodies I believe.

They will be a bit shorter than the axials, use the rear evader shocks.
here is a link.

They also come in purple, and blue anodized, & hard anodized finish.
The hard anodized are more $$, they also have Ti nitride shock shafts for them.

IMO prob 1 of the best things duratrax makes-

well here is another dilemma. I like the Big bores but they don't have balls on each end. And i like the Losi's but they're threaded and i think they'll look dumb in a droop...

Whats the best tips to prevent shocks from leaking also cause i cant figure this *hit out...:?

All my buddy's Losi shocks leak a little
my droop setup uses Axial replacment alum. bodies w/alum. caps also and they don't leak.
