TBH if you are not competing with it and just having fun then i wouldn't bother too much with the shocks.

I use mine at club meetings and the standard plastic shocks are fine IMO they respond to set up, they are not pretty to look or won't be very strong in a big impact but they do the job.

I'm running Losi blue front springs with 35wt oil and Losi Pink rears with 25wt oil as the kit ones are a bit soft.

I run a 6.5T 7800KV motor and its silly fast on kit gearing and will run for 20 mins+ on a 5000mah LiPo.

Would recommend you get an upgrade metal idler gear to cope with the motor as my plastic one lasted 3 meetings (roughly hour and half use) till it was worn and needing swapping out.

diff outdrives look to be wearing a little so will look into diff upgrades if it gets much worse.
