[dan207265_RC]

So on my previous post I said what kind weight oil shocks is good on my big bore shocks that I got from eBay..so I put this time 35W instead 50W like last time that both set of big bore shocks bent the front on my vortex and typhon…so pictures shows how low it is with the new shocks and the second is I left the shocks to even with the back? So what u guys think is normal being like that in the front..thanx

My first thought is that the springs are too soft. See the bollom coils of that progressive spring binding up? What is the rate on those springs?

This is what I like for off road. Just a little sag so there’s plenty of travel. I run 6s shocks though on all 3s cars.

I think it’s to low for off road honestly. Those springs don’t look strong enough.

Really do u think if I put the stock springs would be much stronger then these?

Not sure but wouldn’t hurt to try

Those eBay shock are not good. Shafts bend very easy and springs are too weak. Don't think the stock Big Rock springs will fit on those shocks, but not 100% sure. Maybe they will. But, honestly, the stock shocks are better than those eBay shocks. The eBay shocks are a downgrade. Don't even think parts are available if needed like shock shafts or rod ends.

Let it rip tater chip and see they are only 40.00 bucks. What do you have to lose?

What do you have to lose? 40 bucks, thats what you have to lose. Cause quite frankly, they are junk. I tried them. They really suck.

Yeah I know huh I’m thinking on that and I put 3 of them for my vorteks, typhon and big rock.. I’m just gonna return them and get the proline ones there expensive but it better then dealing on changing shocks..lol

That’s why they are 40 bucks THEY SUCK!

know I now…lol
So u guys think the ZD shocks from Amazon are good then the big bore from Amazon I just return to look some good shocks for my vortex and big rock cuz I know already for my typhon the 6s shocks are good..

 

[Kla912000]

ZD shocks aren't any better. Get Mojave 6s front shocks for the front and Kraton 6s front shocks for the rear of the BigRock. You can get them from JennysRC or from other parts breakers on eBay.

Why are you upgrading your shocks? The stock ones work well, are reasonably tough, and super cheap to replace. You can get all 4 from JennysRC for a great price. The recent stock 3S shocks have yet to leak or have any other issues for me. Sure I broke one but I should have given the crash it took. I think you are wasting your money switching them for a basher. If you are racing them that is different, but even them the stock plastic ones are lighter and that is important for both speed and durabilit.

The stock shocks work well and are quite durable. If you start bending shock shafts or breaking them, that would be the time to upgrad.
