Billet Machined XLS Piggyback Shock Set (4) for 1/10 Slash 4X4 (6808)(L=87/98mm)

If they only worked as cool as they look

Thus far, i like these shocks. i’ve not experienced any leaking, and they look really cool on my Slash 4×4. the reason these aren’t 4’s or 5’s in my book is because the shocks come dry, there are no directions and the springs are too soft.

I didn’t realize that shocks came dry, meaning, i had to go the hobby shop to buy oil. Because these products do not ship with directions, you have to pay attention to the size/length of the old shock to know whether they are front or rear, left or right. Simple directions could have helped me out and saved drive time to the hobby shop, and installation time by walking me through the process of selecting oil weight, and understanding how to purge the shocks.

Secondly, the red springs were partly the reason i selected these shocks. the problem is that the red springs are too soft. if you tighten the spacer, the suspension extends and the truck becomes high centered or the front of truck sits too high. I’m currently using the black springs which are a little harder to compress. The ride height is perfect but the front end seems a little to bouncy. I’ll have to continue to adjust until i get the front end dialed in.

I wish i could buy the black colored springs (whatever the size or tension) in the color red but i couldn’t find it on this website.
