Shocks

[jed.f]

Im in need of some new shocks to replace the stock ones. Do you's have any ideas on what type/brand to use!?

Factory are pretty decent. I was running a pair of Proline 90mm powerstrokes up front, and they flexed quite nicely. Have just changed to a set of G Transitions last night, setup as sprung. They seem to flex very nicely too, and raise the ride height of the chassis by about 10mm.

I've put ansmann's on mine. Aluminium bodies, and a few mm more travel.

Obviously UK price but these are 8 quid a pair!!!!

Very good little shocks.

I'm running the RC4WD 'Ultimate Scale Shocks' 90mm on both ends. Be careful with any of the externally sprung GMade shocks though. I bought a set of the XD Aeration shocks and their diameter is massive. I couldn't fit them on the front as they fouled the lower arms, plus I needed to space out the top mount point as the shock top mounts wouldn't sit flush with the chassis due to the width of the shock. But pretty much any shocks that aren't those big GMade ones will work great and fit no problem.

Yep spot on they are mahusive, but the g-made transitions are slim and very good shocks indeed, plus can be run in droop.

Ill most likely go with the Rc4wd ones, because of there more scale appearence and there price is pretty reasonable aswell!

Sweet. They come assembled, but crack them open and put a few drops of oil in there to keep the spring lubed up. Don't fill it up, it will just be rock hard, they are meant to be run dry. Grab some of their scale shock boots if you want it to look super scale.

I run RC4wD 100mm dual spring coilovers in the front. I have higher upper mounts and added a 5-7mm spacer behind it when installing them, for clearance.
I run them empty with a few drops of 80w in them.
I like being able to dial the spring rate in. Too low, you loose clearance, too high and no travel and flex.
