Need new shocks

[MrUnlimited]

Hi all,

been busy a while with the alloy shock I bought from Ebay. Unfortunately they leak after a while of usage. I had a bent shock shaft so I switched back to the old stock red ones. I was thinking of putting 2 sets of HPI Baja SS on my baja 4wd. Would they fit? Let hear me your opinion.

i think they may be too tall for the FG baja but if they work may be a good option.

The HPI shocks would be a good 2 inches longer.....you could make up some extensions for the shock towers if you want to go that way...

What other shocks will fit.

these are the best you can buy with proper seals not just "O" ring seals

i have them on one of my MCD's with balloon springs

30WT is what is used in the standard shocks. You can also 20wt but I suggest a piston with less holes then.
