Granite Shocks replacement upgrade

[Megasty]

So I should be good with the Turnigy 106 and 126mm shocks?

Yeah, they're better quality than the HSP but still a bit below the 6s Typhon.

I just ordered these for my Granite.

If I ever went nitro again the Hyper 7 is what I would get.

I was recommended a set of shocks for the Senton Mega or 3S. I ordered a set and i'm blown away by them. They are not as bulky as the HSP and came with the plastic fittings for the eyelets. They have progressive springs as well. If you still need shocks or are not happy with the HSPs as I wasnt, give these a go!

They are the identical length to the factory shocks and have 4mm shafts.

Almost identical to ARRMA 1/8th, I use them in all my buggies and in the Talion, strong shocks.

after 14 pages of infos. now what are good replacement shocks for the new Granite BLX Brushless 4x4?
Im new to the RC game and bought a few days ago a Granite BLX 3S, but all 4 shocks are leaking oil already. Can you recommend me some Plug&Play shocks? Im not sure which one to bu cause in this thread its not clear if we`re talking about the BLX Brushless 3s orange Granite or another previous Granite models . Thanks Aron

Just fill them with oil & bolt them right on. They come with all the needed fittings & extra rod ends, plus they are compatible with RPM rod ends.

Nice. Would you recommend them for all the 3s BLX trucks?

 

[blackgoat04]

myself and @Megasty bought these. I bought them for my granite 4x4 BLX 3s orange. I love mine. they are great. the only issue I have had is that the eyelets on the end are made of a plastic that is prone to break. But you can substitute the shorter rod ends that usually find on the granite suspension. they are made from a stronger composite plastic. if you have an ebay account contact one of these two sellers. I personally bought mine from seller City supermarket.

Sure, the rod ends are kinda gummy but that's nothing the RPM ends can't fix.

Thanks for the suggestion. What are RPM ends? Are the Replacement parts he send with the shocks?

you are correct! just not the top one "camber links". Supermarket City does send spare end links but they are prone to breakage also

Yeah, searching for "rod ends" doesn't go too well on their site, so that was the easiest to link to.

Thanks Megasty,

but these are from ebay US and import fees and shipping is far too expensive.

I live in Germany, and ordering from Hobbyking is quite cheap for me, opposed to buy from US retailer or ebay US. Anyway, can you recommend me front and rear shocks from hobbyking for my orange Granite 3S BLX 4x4 ? As a direct replacement would be great, i*m new to RC cars and far from a nerd
thanks
