Gmade XD piggy back shocks (93mm)

[6sharky9]

Has anyone purchased these?..im thinking of getting a set but looking for feedback.

[RPP Hobby]

Our customers have been very pleased with these and the 103mm. We have only had 1 issue that comes to mind out of hundreds sold.

take your time putting them together so you dont crossthread anything and they are pretty damn nice shocks.

I have bought a few and very pleased with them. Finish is good and they are very smooth. The kit has 3 different pistons with 2, 3, or 4 holes.

I would like to be able to get different rated springs for fine tuning, but the stocks ones are good enough.

i have them like he said take your time building the first one

I have 2 sets of the 93mm and no complaints, pretty darn smooth and leak free. As was said, take it slow building them. And as always, use green slime or something similar to create a grease barrier.

Too bad they don't make them any longer, I would use them

I have the aeration versions in 93 and 103 and they work very well . I like them.

Tuning will be very important for me..Any idea on the i.d of the stock springs?...someone has to have springs to fit it.

Once I can find a spring source that works ill get a set of the shocks.
Losi and Associated have great spring choices..Hopefully one of those will work with the shocks.


Thank you to everyone who chimed in with feed back..Im sure the shocks will be a great upgrade over the stock shocks on my honcho and rubicon.

According to the Gmade website, softer and harder springs are available. I can't find anywhere that stocks them though. The length for 93mm shocks are 58 x 19mm.

G made springs can be found on ebay. I run the zero, s with one size down spring. Works great.

Proline big bore shock springs are the same diameter. So you can use both the long and short spring. I have the 103s on my wraith and love them. The only issue is they leak a little but you can ad a second set of orings for the shaft.

[M1tch]

That might be a good option for me. I buy from one online shop in the UK that seems to have some gmade stuff, but if they dont have what I want in stock it can take up to two weeks to get it. Sometimes its easier for me to order from korea!

If you click on my SCX10 Tundra build in my signature you will see the XD 93mm updates towards the end. SUPER smooth. Price range is acceptable and the fine tuning is a bit too overboard if you ask me.

I get the feeling these shocks were built with 1/10 lightweight buggy applications in mind or maybe rally car conversions off 1/10 chassis...I feel much more comfortable running my PowerStrokes if we are talking 90mm shocks here. But smooth yes Junfac did a great job! Scale as heck too. Just not too fond of plastic caps let alone you have air pressure through a screw through that plastic that contains a small o ring grommet?! I just don't understand that.

Only time will tell though. I've only trailed with the new shock setup for about 45 min going pretty easy and adjusting pressure along the way and that was AWESOME! No more twisting your collars for preload adjustment.

I have the 103mm and they have been though a month of water, mud and crashes with no leaks. Also a set of the diaphragm type on a friends short course truck for 3 months are working great, although i do change the oil regularly. I am going to put 93mm on the front and 103mm on the rear with longer rod ends on my glamis uno sometime.
