I put the Tekno full option shocks on my Kraton today. The build was easy and fun. The shock kits were very well organized and the quality? WOW! They are just dripping with quality.
The shocks are basically 99% "bolt on" too except for drilling a bigger hole in your shock tower, but that is easy. Their were no problems at all installing them. The only thing that made me sweat was drilling my carbon fiber shock towers for the new 4mm shock stand-offs. Carbon fiber can be sketchy when drilling but drilling the stock aluminum towers would be super easy.
When I bought these shocks it was really just to avoid the parts hassle that Arrma has created with shock shafts and ends. However, once I got the shocks installed and drove the truck I realized I was mistaken....badly mistaken. These shocks are not just a durability upgrade, they are a HUGE performance upgrade. I HAD NO IDEA shocks could be this good. I'm dumbfounded.
Everything about the truck is enhanced by these shocks. Jumping, cornering, drifting, and overall control have improved greatly. These things are SMOOTH.....I mean like butter.
Had I known the Tekno shocks were this good, they would have been my first upgrade. They are that good. They are worth every penny. If you have been considering these shocks for your Kraton, just buy them......you can thank me later.
Thanks to the guys who went before me with these shocks. You have made my Kraton even more fun. I'm a little poorer but .........oh well.
