Looking for suggestions for some aftermarket shocks for a rustler or bandit. There doesn't seem to be anything between the no-name Chinesium garbage and the grotesquely overpriced Traxxas parts.

pends what you want .. some of the generic shocks are actually quite nice for ~40 a set on ebay 'but' .. parts support/tuning parts are non-existent and the shafts are generally regular steel and will require regular polishing to keep them from seeping with alot of usage .. but for a model that doesnt get run much hey, that might be just the ticket .. but proline makes decent shocks with full support and tuning parts support but theyre pricey .. or if you know the length you can work with, you could probably pick up late production losi or associated shocks used to ...
Traxxas hard anodized shocks with titanium coated shafts are $30 or less a pair. If that is too expensive I would stick with the plastics. You won’t find a better quality shock imo for that price. The cheap threaded eBay/amazon shocks are garbage.
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website
I have an RC10 that has these vintage shocks on it, and I am unable to recall the name of the company that sold them. I believe they were the 1st ever shocks for the RC10 to have the bleed screw holes in the caps. These are still their original red...
Hi all, looking from part numbers, brands or suppliers/companies that have aftermarket shocks and tyres for my RC10T as I'd like to dust it off and start racing it again in my local track in short course truck event. Thanks for any advice.

Ok cool mate, I'm happy to rebuild shocks but was curious as to what people are running these days. Thanks again I'll have a look around.
Biggest upgrade is to grab the shocks off of the newer SC AE trucks....................................
Hi everyone, I need some help locating replacement shocks for my 10T. I've searched on here and it seems that many of the shocks that have been recommended have since been discontinued. Can anyone please send some advice based on what is currently...
So, Im in a building mood, but the only shocks I like are Kyosho mediums. Unfortunately, they are unobtanium.
How are shocks measured? From hole to hole? From tip top to bottom of the ball cup?
Gold mediums seem about 80mm from hole to hole.

It's too bad you can't get these from 3Racing anymore (discontinued now)...they were excellent shocks and only cost about $23 for a set of 4. I would've bought a few more sets if I'd known they'd be discontinued.
I'm slowly collecting parts to build a mid with as many vintage hop-ups as possible and so far don't have any shocks for it, however I don't really know what aftermarket shocks there were back in the day. The only thing I can think of is Trinity...

Hey everybody! I'm kinda new here. Mostly just read and admire everyone's builds. Ive gotta few I'm working on but none I consider post worthy (yet!) anyways I picked up a buggy the other day and I have no idea what brand this graphite chassis is....

yeah I could just do it normally. The little bent copper straps that attached the top deck to the bulkhead still look cheap to me for what is otherwise a pretty trick setup.
I picked this car up a couple years ago now exactly as you see it. Well actually it’s probably a little dirtier now from just sitting on a shelf in the garage.
Since there’s not too many AE parts on this one I figured we could all have a little fun...

That swiss cheesed transmission brace is trick. Slightly stiffer than a wet piece of cardboard!
