I have a rampage mt pro and the only plastic piece on the shock apparently is the weak point and keeps breaking. This is the third shock that the black plastic end that connect to the a arm has broken. I am not bashing it that hard either. Minor jumps. My question is have any of you had this problem and do they make aluminum shock rod ends? I haven't found any online but was hoping someone could point me in the right direction of fixing this issue. Thanks in advance.

I don't know of any shock upgrade for the redcat 1/5 th scale line except for rezzies!

You might wanna look into Baja 5b shocks (check the length and compare it to the MT one; I would love to know the MT shocks length).

Beefier aluminum upgrades are available for the Baja shocks. Check the Rovan website.

Rezzies? What are those? And could I just use the shock ends off of a baja I wonder? I might just have to buy a set and see.

Can't say about the Baja shock ends fitting. Must be worth a try.

I have been wondering the same thing about shock upgrades and have came across some large bore Rovan Rc shocks where the whole shock is aluminum. For the MT I'd imagine you would need 4 rear shocks. You can message them on ebay if the overall length isn't listed, actually Rovan rc answers emails non-ebay quickly too. I need to do the same, just been too busy fixing other stuff and had an old shock laying around to swipe the end off of it and eventually forgot about it since it is now runable.

I am going to try that. I have to do something because they keep breaking and because of this I don't get it out anymore. I bash my xmaxx instead.
