Shock Replacement

[quickster47]

Greetings to the Crawler Group, and from what I've seen thus far, the best available on the net.

Okay, enough of the accolades. Hd my TXT for about three weeks and am in the process of doing some updates. Sparing no expense, could anyone recommend the absolute best shocks for the TXT? I am looking at 4" length as I am getting rid of the cantilevers and using RCGuy's Adjustable 4-link Suspension Kit.

Any thoughts and other recommendations also much appreciated.

ANd yes, I have been scrolling and scanning all the forums for ideas of what works and does not work.

Thanks much.

In all honesty, shock choice doesn't really matter. Just use a decent shock body that will hold some oil for a while.
If you are looking for "the best", there is that company (Progressive Suspension or something like that) that builds very good quality, piggy back shocks that are very expensive.

I really like these shocks from Integy. Just don't over tighten the cap.

You really can't beat the price for nice shocks IMO.

Agreed, I would not put them on a racing truck but since the crawlers don't cycle the suspension that fast they work very well.

LoL... Thanks for all the input. And what is more important, I will put it all to good use.

As I have read and from my other friends, this is the best crawling group there is on the net.

Thanks...
