the carisma gt14b shock tops are alot stronger the the losi ones, im running carisma shocks on my losi that was on my old carisma, ive broken a shock tower once on the carisam using these shocks but ive never broken the shock tops or bottoms, what i do find is the spring retainer pops off the the both shocks
try and get carisma shock tops and bottoms for the losi shocks
hope this helps altho im not sure where you can get them from
