Typhon Typhon 3S BLX - Replacement Shocks

[Jase]

Just wondering if there are any alternatives/upgrades for the shocks on the Typhon 3S BLX.

Had a couple of issues where the metal shaft has come apart from the base/perch (near the eyelet). Looking last night the shaft has some grip at the bottom but that looks like the only thing holding it in, so a quick repair last night was to glue it in which seems to work.

As this has happened a few times front and rear I'm looking for a possible upgrade instead of replacing with stock.

Thanks

Typhon 6s shocks. A little spacer is need inside the top mount, but other than that, good to go. Find them at Jennys Rc for a good deal

I use them on my Big Rock and they certainly look smart and are a lot sturdier. If youre going to do big sends you may find the springs are still too soft on the 6S. A few regulars on this forum reccomend the Team Associated "yellow" springs (don't worry, theyre not actually yellow in colour) as a further upgrade.

I have the Pro-Line PowerStroke shocks on my 3s. They aren't cheap, but the quality and performance is fantastic. Pro-Line even sells spring kits designed specifically for these shocks on Arrma 3s vehicles.

Kraton 6s front shocks on the rear and Mojave 6S front shocks on the front with Team Associated RC8B3 yellow springs.
