⚠️ IMPORTANT SETUP & INSTALLATION NOTES (PLEASE READ)
- These shocks are shipped dry and must be filled with shock oil before use. Oil weight is a matter of personal preference, allowing you to fine-tune performance based on your driving style and terrain. Running shocks without oil will result in little to no damping and can lead to internal damage and premature failure.
- The entire shock body, including the pivot ball end, is constructed from aluminum, with a metal shock shaft. When working with aluminum-on-aluminum or aluminum-on-metal connections—such as where the shock rod end threads onto the shaft—it is strongly recommended to apply a small amount of threadlocke
- Adding a dab of Loctite (or a similar threadlocking compound) at the connection point between the shock rod end and the shaft will help prevent loosening due to vibration and ensure long-term reliability. While this step is not necessary for plastic components, it is critical for metal and aluminum parts.

Recommendation I will always recommend these shocks
These shocks are so much better than the Traxxas GTR shocks. I’ll change out the springs eventually, but the quality in the build of the shocks is on point.
The finish of the shocks is excellent durability too soon to tell but from what I see so far, they’ll do just fine on big air jumps. Add a little 50 weight diff fluid. With your shock fluid in and they are totally different.
None that matter to me
