These are the only shocks i've found outside the typhoon shocks to just bolt right on. They need a #6 washer or 2 on the top mount but thats it. They do have a defect where the plastic plunger inside the shocks on the rears arent punched all the way though, If you simply unscrew the bottom eyelet and pull it out of the shock, you can just with a razor blade open it up. Best replacements i've found so far.

TBone bumpers are awesome but they also have a defect in them where they are designed around the Mega and not the 3S. There is a slight bend needed on the mounting bracket when attaching to the truck. I fixed that with an L Bracket to just hold the bracket against the truck.

Tires i've heard the best option is Duratrax and they even carry the 14mm Hex.

I've stuck with stock shocks. They work very well. I've tried a few and have gone back to stock. For tires what terrain are you mostly running? Duratrax does do 14mm. I use Banditos fo pavement and really like them. Still using stock for off road.

If the stock shocks don't leak then they are perfect for the trucks.

So do the Typhon 6s shocks bolt right on or do you have to modify them .. I live in az so I run it on the hard dirt mostly, but some grass and pavement also.

Picked up some Granite Tires and Proline shocks.. rears for the front and extra long’s for the back that should fit .. not sure if I need to change the pinion

Hi MJ.
For the shocks and being honnest, nobody at local track is using plastic shocks anymore. So, basics front steel shocks could be ok and keep on the truck the stock rear shocks. (the front stock shocks are good for maintenance)

For the tires, we use VP Pro (inside track)/Duratrax C2 (outside track)/Proline Trencher (all around);

Don't forget, stock Senton dboots are good too.

Will those shocks work on the big rock crew cab 3s?

They mostly bolt up. The only (very minor) issue is the top of the 6s shock does not have a bushing in it. I reuse one of the pivot balls from the plastic shocks, others have used a small bit of fuel tubing.

You can also use the extra servo splines that come with the traxxas servo savers if you are switching the caps to Arrma metal ones. You will use two per shock cap. If they are rubbing the drive shafts, use the spacers that come with traxxas 1937 and increase the screw length to 20mm.

The prolines are for the slash .. I used the rear for the slash on the front of the Senton and the extra long shafts on the back which also comes with 2 sets of duel springs
