I have a set of them and was not very impressed, they feel really cheap and were kind of too long, the fronts are almost the same size as the stock rears.

Stock 3s rear shock, front HSP shock and Rear HSP shock.

Did HSP Shocks come with oil inside? I know they are a little bit longer, but maybe it's better and will give more ground clearance?

I fitted some to my sons Senton mega after the stock ones leaked and a shaft broke. Yes they are better than stock. Solid build, thicker shafts, no leaking and have taken some big jumps and awkward landings. The only issue we had (minor issue) is the springs were noisy rubbing on the body threads. We fixed this by fitted some heat shrink to the threads. They did not come with upper end balls so used fuel hose and the lower ends had to be spaced off the arm so not to rub. Sorry I can't remember if they came with oil in them but I think I remember topping up the oil at the least.

I think they are good value, won't break the budget and if they do break, no big loss. They have lasted longer than the stock shocks.

I just received mines. Feels soft, but much much better than stocks. I do not know what to do about top pivot balls, stock pivot balls are to small, trying to find a solution.

It was old nitro silicone fuel hose from my 1/10 scale nitro. I think its just a standard size rc fuel hose. maybe 3mm id and about 5mm od at a guess.

It was a bit of a backyard job but it worked.
