Hot Racing Axial SCX24 Aluminum Threaded Long Travel Shocks (4)

The guy below me needs to rotate the connection points at the top and bottom of the shocks. The wide part of the flange needs to be facing out to retain the orings. These are great. They do make the truck sit higher, even with the softest spring. I’m thinking about trimming a couple coils from each spring. Definitely recommend. ??

Installed on SCX24 C10 Likes: -Lifts the truck to get tires away from hitting the body. -Lots of springs to customize the ride height. -No Fake reservoir to get in the way. I mounted mine upside down and added grease for dampening. Dis-likes: -No friction seal in the bottom of shock body. I have the shorter Hot Racing shocks and the seal in the body helps dampen the shock and hold grease in the body. My long travel shocks had no seal. Another reason I mounted them upside down. -Very Bouncy. With no friction seal they are really bouncy.

These shocks are nice quality but horrible in every other aspect, I haven’t even drove the truck with them on yet and 2 shocks have already popped off because the O ring slid off. All I did was set it down and was messing with it to see the flex it had and 2 of them popped off now they keep falling apart. Good shocks, bad design.

junk dont buy i got them thinking they would be similar to the trx 4m ones and they are not they have no seals so i had to flip upside down and seal with rtv they are the farthest thing from smooth do not buy

When I first got these I rated them high. But after owning and using them for a few months, they are terrible. They have very little movement and when one wheel is higher than the one on the opposite side locks up and does not move. The only good thing about these is they look good and raise up the truck. Overall just stick with the stock ones and save your money.
