| RedCat Earthquake Shocks
Does anyone have the dimensions i.e. Length etc. on the Earthquake shocks? http://www.redcatracing.com/s.nl/it.A/id.2163/.f http://www.redcatracing.com/s.nl/it.A/id.2165/.f |

Those probably arent any better than the stock shocks. You can get all aluminum shocks for $20-$25 per pair that are a trillion times better. Try the CKRC type 2 , or the Integy ones they are the same for that price. Or RC4wd has mac daddy aluminum ones for like $30 per pair that are super nice. Those plastic ones will be a waste of $$$ when you can get good ones for a few dollars more.

you can also pick up a pair rear of team losi shocks for a xxxt for 24.99 too and they work great thats what im runing and they are aluminium threaded. buying plastic shock is kinda a waiste.

You can also stroll through the classifieds if you have access...sometimes there are some good shocks in there on the cheap.

stay away from Losi shocks, they'd leak if you put grease in them.

really?? I have had nothing but oil stains underneath my rig since day one. replaced orings, replaced whole cartridges, added o-rings, tried different oil weights, you name it. Me thinks the OLD Losi shocks were really good, but I would bet the success rate of the newer shocks is MUCH lower. I will be making another call to have these shocks warranteed.
