Senton Boost shock upgrade

[axcoombes]

Hi.
I need replacement shocks for my Senton Boost. I have upgraded to the 4x4 and have put a brushless motor in it and it now mostly gets run at 3s or 2s. So looking for something durable.
Will the proline shocks fit the boost model?
Will the Arrma metal shocks fit? If so what springs and sizes are good?
Anything else that is worth looking at?

I have a senton 3s and from the looks the shocks are the same. I haven’t had a problem with the socks but if you are looking into the proline shocks these should fit. For the metal arrma shocks I cant say anything for sure, I would probably say they wouldn’t fit.

The granite I have, have same arms and towers as the senton, so I guess 6S shocks, Mojave/kraton shocks could fit. I fitted them on the granite. Can't remember if it was front or rear shocks from Mojave and kraton, and where they fit on the granite

I’d say finish your research before deciding on the Prolines. I find them mediocre at best at a very expensive price. I’ve had better luck with a couple of brands of cheap Chinese shocks (NXS and others) for a small fraction of the price of the ProLines. Check length and OD. FWIW, the Traxxas GTR shocks are fantastic and come in a variety of lengths.
Just me and my personal experience, but I’ll never waste my money again on 1/10 ProLine shocks.

Hot racing makes a good aluminum shock body. You use the stock shaft and spring. $20 a set.

Traxxas doesn't make any shocks that are the correct size for the rear.

Springs that's it.

Springs that's it.

The GTRs from the Slash 4x4 are really close for the Vorteks.

The shocks thread is so well put together here. I think someone posted it above. I used it to get new shocks for my Big Rock.

No it's not really. I could have done a much better job. But alas I suck at things.

IIRC a youtuber i was watching found that the prolines do not come oil-filled. i'm wondering how many people are using them dry and not even realizing it. But even after he filled them and tested them against other options the price/performance was still not a good value. took a min but i found the video and time stamped.

in my experience the cost to value of the prolines is very low, i had them on my mega senton and was honestly pretty low quality. i ran them with 50wt oil and as the other fella said above, the chinesium stuff from amazon is just as good and 1/3 price
