Howwwwdy Folks, Nate here!
Which shocks are right for me?
G-made G-Transition or Pro-line Powerstrokes
So I have a 2011 Scx-10 RTR after a month or so of bashing it and testing out various things, breaking things, fixing things, moding things, putting things back to stock, I now have a Honcho, with 4-link front and rear, water proofed and relocated electronics, lowered the batter to right in front of the motor and trans, clocked the trans 180* to help with torque twist and water proofed the rest of the truck, (greased axles and trans) locked up the trans (removed slipper), installed alum. c-hubs front and rear, installed "I think there called" cvd's in my front axles, they help improve the angles the truck can steer to prevent binding, and installed 1.9 Irok's on 1.9 Rc4wd's Pro10 Stamped Internal beadlock wheels! (Awsome lookin' and performing combo by the way! They are DY-NO-MITE!"THUMBSUP") It's now time for me to do shock upgrades! After much reading and research I haven't found information regarding to exactly what I'm looking for, and what kind of terrain I'll be driving on. I'm leaning in between the 90-95mm Pro-Line Powerstroke Shocks, and the 90mm G-Made G-Transition Shocks (in droop set-up), I live in Middle Tennessee, and here we have alot of hills, logging roads, mud, water, bluffs, rocky ares, four wheeler trails and I like to scale on them all!
I'm interested in hearing your guys opinions on what YOU think I should run, and the pro's and con's to both of these shock types, and maybe your experiences with both of them! I like the idea of the droop setup with the G-Made's, but also like the looks and stylings of the Powerstrokes and have read great things about them also, but have read things about both of them leaking badly, and the G-Made's having tendencies to make the truck bobbly, or acts like there is no up-travel, due to the drooped set up, I'm just not sure which shock type would work best for me? Thanks for all the opinions and advice ahead of time, everytime I need help you guys come to my rescue! If you need any more information to help me figure this out, just ask and I'll be happy to help you, help me! "thumbsup"
