Looks like Traxxas Slash/Stampede plsatic shocks with yellow HPI springs, don't remember the rate, but I have an unopened package of the somewhere I'll check. The other springs look like OG Traxxas Big Bore aluminum T-Maxx shock springs.

The yellow springs look like Losi and the red one could be either Traxxas or Losi. | |

| Re: The beater
Pete, thank you for posting that photo and the next one. I was looking at the 0231 / 208 torque, but it not much more than the stock Spektrum 6040. Im stuck at getting a waterproofed one or "waterproofing" a servo. $120.00 is a lot to toss out the door in waterproofing one only to watch it fiz out ( did that with my stock wraith tactic 45. I am finding out the guys I am running with have this ability to find water on any trail. I am amazed my current 6040 hasn't gone boom or the AE-2. We need to get a sticky for: What powers Ascender ( Servo - ESC - Motor ) |

| Re: The beater
Those rulr changed the truck completely tonight i am going to do my steering links the stock set up has too much flex/play and i lose the purpose of the high torque servo i am going to keep these wheels on for this weekends comp since i tuned everything for this place but i have a mixed terrain for my next spot so i am going to put on a heavier wheel and maybe sway bar but she is working so well i might save sway bar for my next truck that is in paint right now LIFE IS GOOD |
