I am building my first crawler build. I need help picking what shocks work best. I have a CFNN and clods but what shock will work best, this is an upgrade I can improve on. Thanks for any and all help.

Any 4 inch shock will work well. Maxx shocks are very inexpensive and work well. Associated and Losi rears are also very good shocks. Hot Bodies has nice aluminum shocks recommended by TCS for the NN. And JP Custom RC has nice shocks for a great price as well. http://www.jpcustomrcs.atomicshops.c...ge/4457879.htm Good luck!  |

What a helpfull post  4" shocks are the norm, the NN chassis works best with them. Try here:http://www.jpcustomrcs.atomicshops.c...ge/4457879.htm Dez beat me to the info. Last edited by 666; 06-11-2007 at 08:04 PM. | |

also because the way they are designed they will take up to 10 times the side loading before they bind. they are the best shock to use. tested and proven | |

The Losi rear shocks off of the XXX AND XXXT are indeed extremely nice shocks, some of the best in the business, but they are not the only option available. Sometime price and availability come into play and other options are needed. Max shocks w/ this mod are very effective, inexpensive, and perform extremely well. This mod is from the Reign Industries J2-TT build sheet. http://www.4wdthunder.net/Forum/index.php?topic=179.0 |

I use Maxx shock with mine. The mod mentioned above works great with the Maxx shock. What about springs? The stock ones that come on the Maxx are a little stiff. What would you all recommend for springs?

Losi springs seem to be the most popular, Losi whites or yellows up front (666 also found a set of Integy springs that have even softer springs than the Losi whites) w/ oranges in the rear. I actually liked to use the the standard Max springs in the rear, but it is more personal preference than anything. | |
