Arrma Granite 3s BLX Shock reccomendations

I ended up ordering 2 sets of the Racers Edge shocks from my LHS and they have worked great. I bought the store demo Typhon 3s, and for shocks on it I used Kraton 6s front shocks on the REAR and on the front I used Senton 6s front Shocks (I cant find ANY typhon 6s shocks) It sounds funny but it works well.
My LHS changed the rear A-arms on my Typhon to Typhon 6s ones you have to cut out a slot were they meet the shock tower but they work. And he had previously broke the front a-arms so he replaced them with Senton 3s blx a-arms. That at least will let me play till they start producing parts.
 
Also, to @godfella691981 , if your shocks will not support the weight of your truck, that is a spring issue, not an oil issue. You need to get stiffer Springs.

I ended up getting Racers Edge shocks for the front and rear of my Granite they work good.
 
I live in Germany, and ordering from Hobbyking is quite cheap for me, opposed to buy from US retailer or ebay US. Anyway, can you recommend me front and rear shocks for my orange Granite 3S BLX 4x4 ? As a direct replacement would be great, i*m new to RC cars and far from a nerd :)
thanks
 
You have a 2yr warranty...
Horizon Hobby don't stand behind it. They wouldnt replace the ESC that went bad in my Granite even though it was 2 weeks old at the time. To this date they still owe me a set of non leaking shocks.
 
I used these o-rings https://hobbyking.com/en_us/2-in-1-o-ring-kit-neon-pink-10pcs-bag.html they work perfectly..??

Only problem... after the rebuild I noticed my shocks leak on the bodies not the seals..???

Someone said it could be the top seal where the shocks open to be filled with oil..!!??

Circled is where mine leaked..? Right arrow is the seal..?? Green arrows are the o-rings I replaced with Hobbyking

It’s one of the biggest complaints you will see about the truck. Personally I don’t think it’s a big deal, but it bothers a lot of people. Disclaimer: I am running Typhon 6s shocks but not because my stock ones were bad. I just wanted more cushion for landing big air. I did do some pretty big jumps on the stockers though:
 
Easy way to think about it is the fluid controls the compression or slows it down when you land a jump and the spring pushes the truck back up to get the shock ready for the next landing.
You want chassis slap instead of your shock taking all the abuse !!

Those are the rear shocks. Watch that same seller Plus Lumidave35 for the front shocks. These shocks go quick from these kit Breakers though, because lots of people want them. When you see them by quick. And check the seller listings often to see when they restock

As for a list of army part numbers, if you go to arrma-rc.com scroll to the bottom of the page and there is a link to download manuals. Download the exploded manual, navigate to the page where it shows these shocks, and you will have your parts list. If you buy them from a-main or a hobby shop you will have to buy every little piece separately, and it will end up a lot more money than just buying the complete shocks from the eBay kit breakers.

Are they sold in pairs?
