And eBay won !!! So at the beginning of July I ordered a set of ZD racing shocks from Banggood , they still have not been shipped , despite going for express shipping . 10 days ago I ordered another set of ZD racing shocks from China but thru eBay , they arrived today , yessss let the silliness continue , lovely jubbly .

Amazon has them on prime now.1week shipping.have you tried them ???I was going to get these.they are cheap an look good.look quality made.
I was wondering how they fit your typhon???120mm front &140mm rear seam a bit long???longer travel is nice but I seem to break more axles with longer travel,so I try to keep travel at check with my setup.still working on best axle 4 my setup.axle s*** gets expensive,and don't make me go faster?

This will be my second set of ZD shocks , the first lastest hundreds of jumps and crashes , I tried to be a smart arse and hit a tree flat , that bent two of the original ZD’s , I put 10mm of silicone tube over the shaft so they sat lower , ZD8001 and ZD8002 is the ones I using
With the first set , I ran full length and never broke a shaft , my typhon is 11 months old and still uses the original shafts , it’s superb

I’ve been having great luck so far. I went out and bought some for my boys senton after seeing that amazon had them. I waited for my first set to come from Banggood for my typhon.I put them right in without lessening any travel and they handle well for what I’m doing. I found the fronts to be softer than the rears so I started playing with different weights. I’m running 55w now up front and it’s definiteky improved the dampening to be more in line with the rears. I may go all out and pick up a set or the K4s and granite.

Fitted at full length and loadsa jumps complete , smooth landings and handling is good , just as before ?? A definite bargain at £19 delivered from China for all 4

Hello there
I used a small piece of silicon fuel tube

I 3D printed some out of tpu. I had to trim the outer ring to be able to slide them inside the shocks. But so far they are holding up fine and working great. The inner diameter is perfect though.
