Just curious to what Shocks you guys are running on your rigs? Looking for Ideas

ttown180 · 01-06-2010, 10:11 AM

im running rc4wd 80mm and they are way too stiff, looking into some yeah racing 80mm

saturnsl89 · 01-06-2010, 06:52 PM

im still running the stock shocks but looking at rc4wd dual spring shocks

toyofast · 01-06-2010, 08:07 PM

Stock front shocks, work great, don't leak. In the rear I have some Losi shocks. Don't know the length but close to 3"ers. Both work great.

I still don't even understand why anyone would swap out the stock shocks(in the front), unless you just want the looks. The stock Tamiya units work really well for this chassis. Change the oil and springs if needed.

The rear... adding a slightly longer shock helps with droop, but that's about it.

Running stock shocks without any need to change for performance. I would like a more scale look though, just have not found a suitable spring for the RC4WD shocks yet.

ttown180 · 01-06-2010, 08:33 PM

i wanted the scale look with my rc4wds, im sticking with 80mm because combined with the front shaving and the rear spacers its given me a great amount of lift

rquarte · 01-06-2010, 09:17 PM

I have some 70mm shocks. They are nice but I should have went with 80's

Nitro_Geezer_UK · 01-07-2010, 06:21 AM

Im runnin standard front and rear

crunky · 01-07-2010, 06:31 AM

yup, same as everyone else...
standard shocks.

i made a few adjustments to my links in the rear so that i could get the wheelbase that the nissan needed.

rampage · 01-07-2010, 05:15 PM

Associated buggy front shocks on all 4 corners.

phoenixtroy · 01-07-2010, 07:06 PM

stock shocks

squatch71 · 01-07-2010, 09:33 PM

some aluminum duratrax buggy shocks...fronts of course. they are 100mm with team AE brown springs. works pretty good.

grimgard · 01-08-2010, 09:26 AM

Stock shocks work fine. There is a link in a thread here to E-bay and there were some nice aluminum threaded shocks as hop-ups.

**EDIT**

Here it is... http://stores.ebay.com/Bargain-RC-TO...34Q2ec0Q2em322

that's a good price on a set of shocks. any experience with them so that you might comment on quality/leakiness?

No I have not bought these. They looks like standard tt01 shocks and should be fine. I just run the stock ones since they work good enough.

squatch71 · 01-10-2010, 06:05 PM

those are nice upgrades to the CC01...might have to look into the steering..anyone use these???

Flowmastered87GL · 01-11-2010, 02:12 PM

Front: 3" Gold aluminum duratrax shocks with a 1/4 inch spacer up top in the fender (and shaved some meat off the suspension arms for more droop)

Rear: 4" Gold aluminum duratrax shocks. Raised the CG up a bit, so I may change their angle to bring the rear end back down.

tpliquid · 01-11-2010, 04:44 PM

im runign rc4wd 80mm dual springs. I use 1 spring from 80mm and another spring from 90mm

Junkz0r · 01-12-2010, 12:01 AM

I bought some 3racing Losi MRC shocks which are really good for the back but on the front I have concerns as the MRC uses M2 size fixings not M3.

leeizcool · 01-12-2010, 04:26 AM

I've got TLT shocks on the rear and standards on the front of my Isuzu Mu.
The fronts have a had a spacer added between the top mount and the body.
The rears are mounted through the chassis as pictured.
