Default I need shocks.

hey guys,

I have finished my chassis and I have everything mounted in it, but I need sme shocks. I have mounted the TLT-1 shocks on it temporarily but it is pretty stiff. I want a softer suspension. I have a set of bigbores from my rustler. what do you all recommend as far as brand, oil, and springs?

Go with Integy MSR4's. They use ball ends on both mounts. It will help keep the shock from binding during the suspension cycle. and they're $23 a pair on their website.

I have a set of AE blue aluminum oil shocks from my RC10 truck. They have never been used, but were put on my crawler that I broke down and sold. One pair is 4", the other is 3.5". If interested let me know - $25 shipped I think was the price I was asking a couple of weeks ago.

Hot bodies 4" shocks. They are $16 a pair.

As for springs/fluid, I use losi stuff, since i used to race back in the day, I have tons of it lying about the place (also why I am obsessed with 4-40 thread). Anyhoo, I use 25wt oil and white or yellow springs (all losi of course). I try to go soft springs to allow the truck to conform to the rocks. I used to be obsessed with trying to counteract torque roll, but now I am just easier on the throttle.
