Default Link to the shocks for my LNC with the internal springs!

I can't find these shocks I wanna buy to replace my stockers. They have an internal spring so my tires wont rub against the stock springs. I think they where called G-sumthing? Please supply a link or some info for me thanks

I think the ones you are talking about are the G-Made shocks. I havent heard great things about them, LCC shocks or Traxxas big bores seem to be more popular on comp style rigs.

You can put internal springs inside of any shock. TCS Sells some internal springs made for it or you can buy some springs from smaller models to use as internal springs. I would say that is a better path to take.

Good luck,

I like the idea of keeping the shocks I have and just putting internal springs in. Which ones do I get for my LNC? I know you say who makes them but I'm a mechanical retard as for picking out the correct springs that fit and funtion. Thanks for the help too


And yes G-made is the ones but I like your idea much better.

Yep that is the idea.

Here are the ones from TCS. I would probably go with a soft in the front and a medium in the rear. They say they are for the AX-10 but I bet they would work in the LNC shocks. It says the measurements so just open up a shock and measure the inside and see if they will fit.

or if you go droop you can unscrew the rod end and put it below the piston instead of a full droop setup
