Air shocks on ecx amp

[P0SEID0N2025]

Hello i am wondering what are the pros and cons of air shocks on a basher vehicle and I'm not quite sure if they would make the truck handle any better.

here are the shocks i was going to buy:

Those are for crawlers and will most likely be way to soft springs. The air shocks (especially cheap ones) probably don’t work very well in terms of actual damping because air is compressible and would make the car bouncy and impossible to drive on bumpy ground.

Okay, that makes sense.

yeah those shocks are desighned for rock crawlers or scale trail rigs, be way to soft for bashing or going fast and at 100mm they are really short

Oh by the way, what shock oil would you suggest for big bore shocks? I'm looking at hot racing ones right now.

I would go with 30wt at least
