Default Wraith shock question

I have a chance to get some wraith shocks in a trade but I don't know how well they would work for a comp berg. Are they a viable option?

My stock Wraith shocks are ok, but I would rather have G-Made Rezzies...

Don't get the g-mades, there ok for bashing but for crawling they suck above all. The wraith shocks with xr-10 springs can be pretty good. I'm running them on my custom comp crawler and they offer great flex. Just remember to get the black xr-10 springs and you'll be good to go.

I think I'll just wait until I can get some RCbros shock bodies or big bores and build my perfect shock when I can. Ok is good, but I want a shock that'll be able to use a mini-t spring.

They work great! Much better quality than gmade! I have owned all these shocks mentioned above & like powerstrokes best on wraith.

Ok, thanks man, well that's what I was planning on buying but I've also been looking at the king 110 something mm shocks for crawling purposes of course, do you know how well they work. They look a little tall for crawling but idk ?¿

Manufacturers should specify at least some technical parameters for components they manufacture. In case of springs, they should specify the deflection under x amount of axial force. This would create a starting base to use the springs interchangeably. But when it comes to running a business, all these basic things are flung out of the window Whats left is trial and error method.
