Big bore shocks for xx4

[matthewjtovey]

Hi,

Am digging out my old xx4 and looking at getting some new shocks, prob big bore? what would you recommend?
Thinking the TLR ones but open to suggestions.

I've been out of the game for ages so don't know whats what really!
Also does anyone have any going spare?

Thanks for your help!

If it has the original losi threaded shocks on then dont bother IMO...

Get some tough racing belts though and you'll be fine

Really?! Are they still that good in comparison to new stuff?

Depends on what kind of track your racing on? However the original shocks are still ace, i use them on a few cars i still run (atomic carbon S2, Cobra racing B42)... I have got big bores which i could use instead, just never felt the need

Thanks for reply.
On astro mainly, quite a tight track with small/medium jumps. Original shocks a good bet for this?

A couple of years ago I was running the XX4 full time and on astro I got the TLR modern big bores. I worked with them for ages trying to get them right then one day I just stuck the WE original shocks on and went a second a lap faster. I didn't look back and went onto finish 5th at a regional, my best ever result to that date and the car was just awesome! I would also suggest the tough racing belts along with a full fresh set of pulleys including the clicker pulley and you'll be away. It can still compete with the top cars, cos its the BEST!
