SCX24 Shocks

Excellent quality for the price. This is actually the second build that I have used these on, and the next build will be getting the same shocks. Keep up the good work!

The media could not be loaded. I wrote this article, because I realize what all the fuss was about. I installed these stock to see how they would run. The front sits a little too high and yes, they do bind.I played around with it a little bit, and I got it perfect. Stocks springs in the front, in the back I kept it as is, but I relocated the top holes to an existing hole that was already on the body. Doing this doesn’t make the rear sit any higher. I used one rubber washer on the inside for each one as you can see in the pictures and I used some metal adapters as well to space things out. Everything comes in the kit. I uploaded some detail pictures so you can copy the same exact set up. I did flip the shocks and it made a huge difference. Originally, I didn’t want to flip it because I like the oil reservoir being at the top to look realistic, but this is the best way for no binding.

When you set them up to have a lot of down travel they work very well. I absolutely love the look and performance of them

I like how the theses have a treaded body that allows for pretention should you choose to do so. And they are made pretty well and look nice too!The extra springs that come with these shocks is nice. However, the black springs that come installed on these are plenty stiff, and switching to the silver or copper springs would make the shock even stiffer. Because the black springs were too stiff, I ended up cutting off 25% of their length in order to get the truck to sit as low as the factory SCX24 springs. But now I also have the advantage of a greatly extend shock travel which when combined with the cut-down black springs allows for some pretty nice articulation. Basically I am now running partially drooped! Prior to cutting the springs down, the shock pistons would bind within the shock body. There is still a slight binding, but nothing like it was prior to spring cutting. This is likely due to the shocks not being mounting to ball joints like the factory shocks were. Not fully tightening the shocks down to the frame helped a lot and allows the shocks to move a bit with the links and suspension during your crawl.. I left about .090 inches of gap from being fully tightened This made a huge difference in keeping the truck from rolling over using the provided full length spring sets. There is some tuning required to get these dialed in, but that is why you are here!Axial SCX24 C10

For good.

The best

Problem with these are they bind bad on my JLU. Installed normal, flipped, single o rings, different springs, different angles, still bind. Had to remove one o ring from all links and shocks, flip them, angle one screw hole on frame, and run sticks springs to get them to run smooth. Resulting in the chassis being very lose sloppy.

Nice value. Look and work great on my project
