good shocks?

**Rckid97** · 05-20-2012 11:11 PM

hey i wanna buy new pair of shocks for my slash 4x4 and ive heard lots of people doing the 1/8 buggy shocks and stuff but wanna know what else you guys are running out there that are great for bashing!

thanks

**sbinqnz** · 05-20-2012 11:43 PM

proline big bore....

**2wdslash** · 05-21-2012 12:34 AM

proline power strokes best investment i did. They never leak and easy to adjust

**SlashandBurn** · 05-21-2012 12:42 AM

if you are bashing get some D8's you wont bottom out

**sbinqnz** · 05-21-2012 09:23 AM

D8 & Proline big bore shocks are both good, it all depend on u money flow on which one to get...lol

**Apexracing** · 05-21-2012 10:58 AM

Losi scte shocks by far the best out there, or associated sc10 shocks are good as well. But my scte shocks make my ssclcg slash 4x4 handle like a dream.

The Losi Ten T's are a beast. Check out my build on the Losi Ten T/ STRC. =p

Ya know ten t and scte shocks are the same

. The losi tuning spring sets are nice as well.

**DiggerPede** · 05-21-2012 11:26 AM

Yessir I do.

I noticed that when i was building my current set as the parts are the same.

**Rckid97** · 05-21-2012 05:09 PM

so im either gunna get the losi shocks or d8s. what are the differences

**Rckid97** · 05-21-2012 05:17 PM

are they a buy and attach or do i have to build and mess with them to make them fit

**Rckid97** · 05-21-2012 05:26 PM

what weight would you suggest for front and rear for pretty hard bashing?

**traxxasFTW** · 05-21-2012 05:38 PM

there are some proline powerstrokes on ebay for 39.99 for all 4!

**Greenskeeper** · 05-21-2012 05:52 PM

Losi tens bolt on!

Peace,

**Rckid97** · 05-21-2012 05:54 PM

I've seen that! If I didn't already have a set I would've jumped on that! They are great shocks! I had them on my first truck with a street setup. But stuck Big Bores on it and put the Proline's on my Ultimate. I highly suggest Proline shocks

Not to hijack but ive seached ebay and havent seen them, you wouldnt happen to hav a link would you? I've been having the same problem deciding on shocks, but for that price that makes the choice alot easier!

**RacerAV** · 05-26-2012 09:34 AM

pretty sure its just for the fronts or rears... I've seen plenty, and a set of 2 is always around $40, for a set of 4 it's usually around $70ish...

These are what I'm going with... not sure on the oil weight though...
Any tips on that guys?

**Rckid97** · 05-26-2012 12:08 PM

ya same here what weight

**CAGE410** · 05-27-2012 01:18 AM

D8's are great for some hard bashing they look awesome like slashandburn says you will NOT
bottom out on those high air jumps. There are these guys at this BMX track that i watch from
Time to time two are using the losi's one has the powerstokes and the other is running the D8's
they all get some sick air time crazy wipeouts IMO the D8's handle so much better. I just ordered
A set two days ago can't wait till those boys come in..

**sbinqnz** · 05-27-2012 01:50 AM

are these the same or worse or better than d8s and are they a straight fit

**I EAT DIRT** · 05-27-2012 03:35 PM

they are the same shock. I run, well did run D8's till I set my slash up for racing. I have grey spring's all around with 45wt oil. AWESOME! You want to add the longer rod end for the front, work's great for me.

**Rckid97** · 05-27-2012 03:48 PM

longer rod end just on the front? and part #

What shocks are you using for racing? I have the PL powershocks but I might get a set of Losi

**Dknuckles** · 05-27-2012 05:20 PM

So these should bolt on np right? http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOSI-8IGHT-2...item4aa94a88ca
