| anyone got or tried these!!
Has anyone tried these for rock crawling, i think they would work well with a good weight oil in them! They get stiffer as they compress. http://www.pro-lineracing.com/proline.html |

I use progressive springs on the right rear corner my TXT, they work great to help fight torque twist. I don't see a use for them on a Clod. "ROCTAPUS" |

sorry, go to products then monster trucks and then suspension. Its the bypass shocks i was thinking about. It would be possible to run these instead of shocks, if they held the weight of the truck.and would allow flex but stiffen up under heavy copression and keep the truck stable. |

You can't run them independently. They are designed to work in conjunction with a coilover shock. By themselves, they are worthless.

They might be cool for a scale look if you had some leaf springs. | |

Bypass shocks=high speed racing. Where do you see the bypass shocks being used? Desert racing....Baja 1000 & 500 and the likes. Have you ever seen a crawler with a huge bypass tube hanging on each corner? Nope,they are worthless and a waste of money if all you do is go slow. A simple 4" shock with a good spring and oil set up is all you need,don't try to complicate it. |
