Yeah racing shocks are very nice shocks. You canalso get them in just about any size you want. I run them on a couple rigs and will probably end up with them on my creeper as well. You can get them all day long on ebay for cheap.

I am using 3racing shocks. They are for the axial but they work great on the creeper!

You should play around with your shocks and change the shock oil in them. change the shock piston to a 2 or 3 hole, you would be suprised how well your stock shocks can perform if you just put time into them, different shock oil would stiffen or loosen them up, pistion holes would increse or decrese responce time, springs are for your recoil.

Just buying new shocks wont do much besides look good. thats not a bad thing eaither.

That is the best answer I've ever read here. Do you you know where to get the part you mention.

I bought mine used and have no idea how it is setup. I know it has to much torque twist though. What wheight oil do you recommend, as That will be the first thing I will be changing as well as getting rid of the batt tray.

Thanks

Im not sure what weight oil comes stock. or what size the pistons are but here is a link to some AE pistons

and shock oil can range from 10w up to ???? weight, 10 would be the softest and 50 would be thicker oil and ect.....
