Default Losi shocks on a X-6

Whats the difference in the losi shocks and the AE? i have noticed more people run losi shocks. can you buy the shocks as a kit or have you got to buy individual parts?

Most people run the losi shocks as thats what the team use so setting the car up is alot easier, there may be other reasons but im unsure of them

I personally run the losi shocks just because i prefer them to the associated ones, easier to build and maintain IMO, look nicer too

and it seems you can buy the shocks with a kit, not as a kit. You can buy individual parts, or you can try and find em secondhand, rocking horse pooo anyone ?

On tracks with large jumps the AE shocks can blow the bottom ends and dump their contents over the whole car whereas the Losi shocks dont tend to suffer from this problem. I noticed this alot at the Petit race.
