Traxxas shocks on an AX10
 
I want to run a shorter shock on my AX10 and I want to run a traxxas set up. What series are you guys running out there?

i run the stock axial shocks setup in droop.... with springs under the piston.
then again, my ax10 is all on an xtrail chassis.

Yeah. I have my stock Axials in droop with no internal springs, just oil. What are you using for internal springs?

I run the slash front big bores with rod end mod and losi springs. They come out under 4".

Maxx shocks work well... and they are cheap.
Big bores are a higher end alternative
and For a short shock, rustler shocks seem to work well.

I had a friend run Jato 2.5" shocks and had good results. What I'm seeing here is that Traxxas shocks can work very well in this capacity. I appreciate all the posts. Off to ebay to see what's out there.

I picked up a set of Jato shocks (4) for $20.00. It's also a local pick up... NICE8)

The jato/revo shocks are really short!:shock: Especially for a stock axial chassis.:?

I may need to drill a new place to mount them is what you're saying?

What do you recommend?

I am running the maxx shocks on my comp rig. They are a great set-up.

bergy 02-28-2010 03:38 PM

I am running Traxxas bigbores and axial shafts I am also using a dubro rod end link. all in the droop setup w/ internal springs

running rustler fronts all around mine. been doing pretty well so far. leaked at first but a little lube on the o-rings took care of that

What about some E-Maxx Brushless 3908 Shocks?

romulus22 02-28-2010 05:15 PM

good shocks. almost any of the traxxas shocks ide say its best to do the shock cap mod though

just better. allows for a much smoother operation. no binding

Kanine38 03-02-2010 06:58 PM

Does anyone have pics of some traxxas shock set up? These caps are freaking huge and rub against the chassis with those crazy grommet screws.
