Team Associated (http://www.rc10.com), Team Losi (http://www.teamlosi.com), Duratrax (http://www.duratrax.com), and Traxxas (http://www.traxxas.com) make aluminum shocks. Team Associated, Team Losi, and Traxxas make heavier shock springs. I have never heard of an aluminum or graphite body, but if you mean chassis no one makes one for the Electric Rustler.

Traxxas makes Big Bore shocks for all of it's vehicles and they are quite good. A bit pricey but good none the less. Associated makes good shocks as well. I think they are a little less prone to leak then the big bores. But, they don't hold as much oil either. I would stay away from duratrax gold shocks because they have always leaked on me. Losi makes good shocks too but it may be a little hard to find parts for them since some companies are not carrying losi parts now. It really depends on how much you want to spend and how proficient you are at assembling shocks.
