For rod end upgrades on the 6s shocks there are a few different options.
For different shocks on the V1-V4 6s Kraton, Outcast or Notorious you will want MT410 shocks.

Here is a fix from @Camaroboy383 for the molded shock rod end problem https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/3s-and-4s-guys-solution-to-molded-rod-ends.17061/
Optional shocks for the Mega, 3s and 4s models.
Some of the shocks listed below will require you to add a washer on the lower mount to keep the shock from rubbing the front driveshafts. I would try to find some washers that are about 2-3mm thick.
You can make the shocks the correct length by placing nitro fuel line under the shock pistons

Arrma alloy shocks.
These are a direct bolt on just use your stock shock springs on them.
Proline Racing shocks.
These are a direct bolt on but a bit expensive compared to a lot of the other options.
Hot Racing shocks Mega and 3s models.
YOU WILL RECEIVE:
- Two 2) rear shock bodies
- Two 2) Screw-on o-ring cap eliminates the plastic seal retainer
- Two (2) aluminum spring adjusters/collars
REQUIREMENTS:
- Silicone shock oil, assembly, bleeding, and installation per Arrma recommendations
- Existing stock shock components
Arrma Mojave shocks.
The best place to source these is from Jenny's Rc. Use the Axial bushings in the upper mount to take up the space.

HSP shocks.
A lot of people have used these shocks with great results. They are HSP Front 81003 and HSP Rear 81002 shocks. Use the affor mentioned Axial bushings in the shock caps. Remember that these are cheap Chinese shocks, they work okay but do not expect much for quality.
Big Bore eBay shocks.
Cheap ebay shocks these also need the previously mentioned Axial shock bushings. These shocks do not have bladders and can be a bit tricky to bleed, some users have had issues with the stock pistons having too small of holes, the rod ends are pretty poor, the shafts bend and they tend to leak.
Hot Bodies shocks.
Rather expensive and you will want to change out the springs. Also need the Axial bushings.
HPI Racing Big bore shocks.
Pretty much the same thing as the Hot Bodies shocks.(part numbers break down to be the same, except for the shock adjustment collars, they are different colors)
ZD Racing shocks.
Use the Axial bushings in the upper mount to take up the space.
Most users of these seem to pretty happy with these shocks. Spare parts for these are rather hard to find.

These shocks will only work on the rear of the Vorteks.
You will want springs pn ARA330637 these are the closest Arrma springs to the stock Vorteks spring in stiffness, they are slightly stiffer, 1.13N/mm (6.5lb/in) vs 1.06N/mm (6.05lbf/in) for the stock Vorteks rear springs, the springs are the same length 70mm.

General shock info.
Whenever working with shocks it is always a good idea to have a pair of shock shaft pliers, there is a Tekno set listed further down that works really well and is made extremely well, but it is rather expensive, for those who are on a bit of a budget you can always get these Trackstar shock tools https://hobbyking.com/en_us/shock-tools.html I have this set and have used it a lot it makes shock assembly/disassembly so much nicer. Another nice tool to have around is a shock caddy/stand for when you are filling your shocks. Many companies make these so there are many options https://www.google.com/search?q=rc+...-O_kAhVnJDQIHZtID34Q_AUIFygA&biw=2560&bih=888
These are things you will want for putting Tekno shocks on your 6s model, the Tekno locking shock rod ends also work on most of the above listed shocks and will fit on the Mega, 3s and 4s models with aftermarket shocks.
There are some differences in the kits as well.
If upgrading the shocks on a Kraton, Outcast or V1/V2 Talion I would say go with the E/NT48 shocks, If you can find them the E/NB48.4 shocks have emulsion style caps.
I have not looked into or tested the new E/NB48 2.0 shocks so your results may vary.

@Camaroboy383 Had this to say and also found a nice mod to fix the shocks.
The issues with the 3s and 4s shock line is the way they are manufactured for assembly.. the o-ring housing has a lid that snaps on to compress the o-rings, the pressure exerted on the o-rings is not enough to properly seal the shaft.. a washer or two can be added to the assembly under the plastic cap to compensate and add more pressure... only so much pressure can be added before the cap doesn't latch anymore, wish they had molded a land for the cap to sit against when tightening, many of the leaky shock issues we see wouldnt be a problem.. the hr shock bodies do incorporate the land machined into the body to provide adequate pressure for sealing, as well as nice o-rings...
That being said my biggest gripe about the 4s and 3s line isnt the leaking, its the shock shafts with the molded rod ends... ? I'm waiting on some standard style 4mm shafts, and will be using the nero 6s rod ends and spring perches...it will be so nice to just unscrew the rod end and install a new one.. (if they even break anymore)
Another thing to note if changing the shafts or switching to the hr bodies is that the land for the piston is not deburred from the factory.. they have an extremely sharp hard edge and can tear the o-rings on assembly if not careful... I typically take some 800-1000 grit and knock back that hard edge so I know for sure no matter what they wont tear at the o-ring..

Optional shocks for the Mega, 3s and 4s models.
The following shocks are not compatible with the Arrma Vorteks 4x4. Vorteks shocks are listed at the bottom of this section.
For the upper mount when using other shocks on your Mega, 3s or 4s model use Axial part number AXA1356 https://www.amazon.com/Axial-AXA1356-Silicone-Shock-Bushing/dp/B0051W7R1M

There are some differences in the kits as well.
- The MT410 kit has composite shock caps, cartridge caps and shock collars.
- The E/NB48 and E/NT48 kits come with aluminum shock caps, cartridge caps and shock collars.
- The MT410 kit comes with molded pistons only.
- The E/NB48 and E/NT48 kits come with cnc pistons and molded pistons.
- The E/NB48 machined pistons are different from the E/NT48 pistons.
- The springs with the E/NB48 shocks are different from the MT410 and E/NT48 shocks.
- The MT410 and E/NT48.3 come with green rate springs.
- The E/NB48.4 comes with black rate low frequency springs in front and orange rate low frequency springs in rear.
- The spring perches on the E/NB48 shocks are shorter than the MT410 and E/NT48.
- Shock bodies are different colors.
- The E/NT48.3 come with none vented shock caps
- The E/NB48.4 come with Emulsion/vented/none-vented shock caps
- Tekno fronts are 3mm longer than the Arrma fronts.
- Tekno rears are 5mm shorter than the Arrma rears most of this is do to the rod ends.
If upgrading the shocks on a Kraton, Outcast or V1/V2 Talion I would say go with the E/NT48 shocks, If you can find them the E/NB48.4 shocks have emulsion style caps.
I have not looked into or tested the new E/NB48 2.0 shocks so your results may vary.
