Thanks for the infoI’ve found that the stock shocks work as well as any when properly tuned for your driving conditions. Set the correct static sag and change out the stock oil. You’ll need to set the sag first then drive it to determine whether you need to change your shock oil up or down. I run 30/35 (f/r) in my 4x2 Ruckus and it works for my mixed bag of driving - street, skate park, BMX track. I’d recommend doing this first and see how it tracks. Expensive aftermarket aluminum shocks sure do “look” good but even those will have to be tuned properly or that’s all they’re good for - looks, and your performance will suffer at your wallet’s expense.
Good luck, and remember THIS is what the hobby is all about - trial and error. Everyone thinks they have the right solution for your rig but only you drive it so only you know what it needs and when it’s just right.
Thanks for the info I will check in on themSTRC aluminum shocks. Traxxas lengths are very comparable to ECX. Get an caliper to measure center of hole to center of hole. I do not own a ruckus. I own a 2wd torment. Here is my setup, I built my own. Aluminum is the way to go, no flex or give. Stocks work for your average basher. If your looking for more, scrap the stock and go aluminum.
