Absolutely would enjoy test riding your Pitbull shocks out! I have 90mm Proline Pro-spec scaler shocks and Vanquish / Incision 90mm Scale shocks and they both leak!! I prefer the Prolines over the Incisions, been looking for something better, maybe you guys have come to the rescue. Does the BDS shock collar have an o-ring in it to prevent it from moving on you as the Pro-specs do? Also worth mentioning, your website seems to indicate $99.99 per pair for the 100mm, are the 90mm going to come in at $80.00, if not then we are looking at $200.00 for a set.

I can test them down here in South America, only a few have survived. If they make it down here, tbey can make it anywhere!!

First runs with Kronicks are great much improved side hill abilities with the umg10 the extra ground clearance with 100mm shocks is also a huge plus currently testing with the dual springs and 20 weight losi oil high-speed handling greatly improved rig is not nearly as tippy or floppy as it was on thE stock shocks still playing will report back

I'm guessing he went back to Facebook. If not, ill take 1 shock for testing purposes. Those of you asking for 4, are just be ridiculous.

Those must be some killer super game changer shocks for the price.

Yes but with the stock axial shocks being utter trash its not really a fair comparison or useful at all.

A good comparison would be against other good shocks like Gmade's RSD or XD's or Traxxas big bores

Hmmm or I could slap them on my shock dyno or do this or that or I can compare them to x-ray click adjust shocks on my touring car ...... How ever none of those prove anything either most people know how the axial shocks work and feel so having a baseline comparison makes more sense we know the axial shocks leak we know they tend to have a lot of stiction most relevant to people is how they feel on the trail and they feel amazing and consistent and from a racing background consistency is the key to reliable performance the KronicKs respond as expected to oil and spring changes that being said wish I had variable pistons but these shocks see nothing compared to my touring cars or 1/8th scale off road race cars so if anyone has direct questions regarding the KronicKs or something they would like to see about them please let me know but I will not be comparing to other hi end shocks these work consistently so I can tune them so I can make my rig perform how I want it to perform that being said I am now running these with axial white springs and about 10mm of preload this gives me 20mm of up travel at pretty close to stock ride height the KronicKs bottom out very near full flex and my umg 10 now climbs better and is not tippy anymore it is a very predictable rig I have a full video review of the KronicKs I am working on editing but work has had me busy

Lol, shock dyno. Come on now. How about just say you like the shocks. Your racing background, 1/8 scale gas cars and x-ray
touring shock comparisons is irrelevant nonsense.

Traxxas Big Bores are the baseline comparison IMO.

Not necessary and a great example of my point. A simple "I like the shocks" would do.

Unfortunately, I read through all of that. My head nearly exploded from the lack of punctuation. I'm usually not a grammar Nazi either.
