MR shocks/Tplate ?

[rhino20]

just gonna order a rat kit, but confused about which shocks are in the kit version, are they plastic bodies with alloy caps ? are these the ones the caps pop off of ?
Do the latest kits have the improved rear T plate plastics ?

The shocks are all black plastic mate.
The green alloy caps were removed from the kit before they went on sale, to keep the price down i guess.
All new kits will have the new T-piece by now and they are far stronger than the original batch ones.
I have never broken a NEW STYLE plastic one but i have broken 2 carbon ones.
The kit T-pieces are just fine.

This is the Pro Kit has the great shocks adjustable turnbuckles and by now would certainly have the "new" T piece.

This kit has plastic shocks and all the basic stuff. If your racing go for the X2 it will save you money over time
