Learning to drive your rig is the best way to save money. LolI worked pretty good for the back shocks, although the rod and stuff was bent and till needs replacement along with now the front shocks cuz i need to learn to drive, lol.

Absolutely! no truer words have been spoken.
the fronts are back in stock and the springs are also, separate of course but the rear on still on back order till June i think but the ones work good. the ones above look pretty good to its always good to be up and running Oh yeah Razor man thanks for the gabillon videos tips and advice given here bro your a God send esp for folks like me. I just had to tell i really appreciate ya.
Man, These shocks can handle a 5 pound Voltage…barely. I have them on all three of my voltages and they struggle. I just finished fixing bent shock rods on two rear shocks.Here is a set of shocks that may work pretty good on the Vorteks. ZD Racing threaded aluminum bodies. The rears are 105mm and fronts are 85mm. Might be slightly longer but still should work good. $22 for a full set of front and rear shocks.

When I posted that I didn't realize how small they actually were. Just looked at the length.Yeah. After driving my Vorteks hard for the last month and considering the short shock towers…I think it’s a great ride with the stock shocks. So I bought an extra set from Jenny’s. I’ll probably get another set here soon. I mean they’re solid. They don’t leak and they have fantastic action.
I’ll put my money for upgraded shocks on my granite and my wife’s big rock. And my future typhon. Near future Typhon…

My voltages way 5.4 pounds with batteries. My Vorteks is 8.8 pounds with battery.
Yup. Initially I got a set to replace the rears, Kraton or Mojave I forget which. Ended up putting them on my wife’s big rock after I ordered the other set to complete that car. The vortex performs very nice just as it is. I mean I’m gonna upgrade The things I break, motor mount and so forth, but shocks seem fine.When I posted that I didn't realize how small they actually were. Just looked at the length.
Be very interested to hear your results with these. They’re bound to be something I change sooner or later on Grace’s vorteks, once the run time is sorted. They’re certainly nicer looking but is the shaft any thicker ?Some TLR shocks I’m testing.
Oddly, the stock rear shocks are longer than the arms fully extend, so being shorter doesn’t hurt anything.

I'm pretty sure the Arrma stock 3s shock shafts are 3mm and the 6s shafts are 4mm.I don’t know what Arrma shocks are, but these have 3.5mm shafts.
They’re excellent shocks, just expensive and I don’t know if you can even get them. I previously used them on my Hoss.
yeah. A quick search didnt yield any of the main UK retailers with them but there may be other TLR shocks that fit just fine - Theres an SCT 3.0 now, I believe.I don’t know what Arrma shocks are, but these have 3.5mm shafts.

The DB Pro shocks should fit.yeah. A quick search didnt yield any of the main UK retailers with them but there may be other TLR shocks that fit just fine - Theres an SCT 3.0 now, I believe.
