Senton Senton Mega Shocks Alternatives

[W1cH0]

Hello, I read online that the Typhon 6S shocks are the best upgrade for the Mega/3s senton, they are sold out everywhere tho so I’m looking at alternatives... I found the pro line power stroke but they’re so expensive

Buying all 4 shocks would be $132 and I’m not sure if they fit or need to buy this

I’m tired of looking for the Typhon shocks, do you have any recommendations or should I put some money a side to buy the pro line ones later on?

You can buy the Hot Racing bodies to replace the stock plastic ones. Supposed to be a fix for less than the 6S shocks.

Shocks made to fit the front of 2wd Traxxas rcs are too short the ones made for the rear may work for the front though.

Check this thread out bottom of post #1 for shock options https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/...-blx-4s-shocks-upgrades-and-information.7413/

Heres a pic of Traxxas front and rear shocks compared to stock Arrma

The below link are for suspension that's much more affordable, I've owned them for the last year-and-a-half with zero problems. Aluminum, rugged, and I recommended it to a few other folks and they've also had no issues. I use them on my senton mega which I've upgraded to run 3s, and they perform beautifully even on larger jumps and backflipping etc.

Looks interesting, they’re so cheap if you recommend them I might give them a try, they seems to fit perfect? Or do I need some mod or adapter?

The rears are a little on the long side for the rig. That being said, the right oil weight softens them up so it's really a non-issue. If you're like me and you like to jump, the extra travel comes in handy. The biggest plus, is it's an upgrade in performance for not alot of money and they don't leak.

Others on here recommended them as well, that's how I find out about them.

Anyone tried the kraton 4S shock on the senton 3S ? would it be a good upgrade?
