You can buy them directly from the manufacturer: http://www.junfac.com/shop/index.php...2559c4415dcf21 However, I can tell you from personal experience, those shocks will leak out every bit of oil you put in them. Spend a bit more money and get a quality shock.... |

That's a good question and I would love to see some suggestions. I have to second the - on the G Transistions tho. I am doing an SCX10 based mud truck on 2.2s and wanted a little more height. I got a set of the G's in a trade and mounted them with custom made links to reduce the shaft agle and add a half inch of WB length. All of the oil leaked right out. They are terrible at holding oil. Now I am back to the stocks till I find something beter. | |

I am not sure what length you'll need, but I have always liked the Proline Power Stroke shocks: http://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/pro6060-00.htm Plenty of adjustability and they are smooth as hell. |

I've never had good luck keeping the Losi shocks from leaking either. If you dont mind spending the money, the best shocks, IMO are the Kyosho Velvet RT5 Shocks: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...-Cap-Shock-Set I run them on all of my comp crawlers. I thought you were looking for something a bit more scale... |

im not really looking for somthing for comp im just making a scale crawler and id like the lift and some good articulation and somthing that will look good, and also im not looking for a shock over 100mm ( i dont think anyways) unless someone thinks i should i think anything more may be to high

I've had 3 sets in 2 gmades and a spare set. They require plumbers tape at the top plug to keep them from leaking. Not a very solid shock IMO. |

| http://www.junfac.com/shop/index.php...index&cPath=22 They are a good shock IMO. the comment about thread tape is true though they will weep with out it. But most shocks do. |

WOW, I must have the only 2 sets of the G-Transition shocks that dont leak? I run them on my SCX10 based Hilux and on my 2.2 Jeep tuber, both running droop and have never had any leaks. In fact the set on the 2.2 rig were mounted on it as a roller that set on the shelf for almost a year and never experienced any leaks. Going to have to try running a set in sprung and see what happens. |

Personally I would stay away from any RC4WD shock. I have a set of the dual spring 100mm's and used them once for mock up and thats as far as they went. There now rolling around in the bottom of my sapre parts box. No matter what I do I cant get the roughness out of them when they cycle. I polished the edge of the pistons and now there ok but I really think theres way better shocks out there. If your learry of the JunFac's then the PL Power Strokes,Traxxas Big Bores, and Losi crawler shocks are all good shocks. |
