Hi Matt,
I'll always prefer Losi shocks, but its your preference that counts. I think Andy liked his X-6 with the Losi shocks on? Well, if you are not sure what to do with the AE shocks but like them anyway, id suggest rebuilding them with new seals - use plenty of green slime, and new unobtainium or MIP shafts. This'll make the movement of the shock very slick and might transform your car. Have you persuaded Andy to let you have his spare AE shocks??
I noticed your car became noisey. Have you discovered the cause? Mine seemed quiet, I had put some silicone (diff) grease on my gears for the first time, and I reckon it helps in the nois department.
