Both work fine. I use Losi because I have been building them a lot longer. They are what I am used to. The Associated shocks work great. I just hate how you have to pop those seals in place.

Changing from AE to Losi shocks, or vice versa, is an expensive proposition if you don't already have them. But Losi pistons will fit in the AE shocks and of course you can use Losi oil. Those are two things you can change that are relatively cheap. I think the Losi springs will fit on the AE shock too, but am not sure about that; the sprigns are cheap too.

So you don't have to spend all the money for completely new shocks if AE is what you've got. Just Losify them! LOL

In our experience, you can win with either. Like my favorite gunner says, it's really a matter of preferance.

Thumbs up losi shock spring

you will need to change the spring seat so the spring does not move.
