Vorteks Vorteks Shock Alternatives - Help

[MiamiRC]

So I got my daughter a new Vorteks for her tenth birthday which she was racing against my 3S Typhon and promptly drove straight into a tree, breaking one of the front shock shafts. The Vorteks shocks and parts are not available at all (ARA330722) anywhere that I could find. For now I've used a Typhon shaft and preloaded the sh*t out of the springs because if the shock fully compresses the longer Typhon shaft will go through the top of the Vorteks shock cap. Until Vorteks parts are available I'm looking for the best alternative which brings me to my question here for the Senton, Granite and BigRock owners. Can someone tell me which of those three has the shortest shocks (and by extension shafts) as I'm going to get a pair of those as a back up until I can get the Vorteks ones. Thanks!

All the other shock shafts are the same length. The senton, granite, typhon, and bigrock all have the same exact shocks.

Closest thing I have found so far are the rear Traxxas GTR Shocks for the front and front SCT410 shocks for the rear.

Welp. That sucks. Thanks though for the info!

I keep destroying my front shock tower. Anyone have good aftermarket shocks that can handle 15 feet high to concrete?

You need to be grounded.

I do not like that. New to rc. Believe I bought the wrong vehicle for what I want to do

Go to jennys rc And click on the notify button under vorteks shocks. They will notify you when They get the next batch in.

These shocks will fit the Vorteks and are relatively inexpensive. Here is the link:

In light of the next post, I need to edit this post. I would not recommend these shocks. They will fit, size wise, but are too small and very soft. Not good for a 1/10 3s 4x4.

I actually bought these to put on my vorteks and they are very tiny and the springs are super soft. Would they fit? yes. But arrma ones are much better

Well, I just looked at the size of them, that's it. Would I buy them? Nope. But then again, I wouldn't buy a Vorteks either.

Found some alternatives here, they are listed in the Arrma Vorteks 4x4 section https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/...d-blx-4s-shock-information-and-upgrades.7413/
