They look great but performance…meh.

Things to know before you buy!Purchased for use on 1/10 Losi Lasernut (Tenacity)The ones I purchased were only about 1/3rd full of lightweight oil so disregard the ready to use info.They seem to be somewhat well made and look good so there is potential.My issue is that they’re too soft and my front end droops low. The pictures above show this. The truck was dropped from less than a foot, level on all four wheels. My Losi is mainly all stock, only a couple light weight mods which has no effect considering it didn’t have a battery in it when it dropped.When I realized they came with barely any oil, I dumped them and added 50 weight at the level it should be. This still left them super soft, didn’t even seem to make a difference.Ended up dumping the 50wt for 60 since that’s all I had. In the process I took one completely apart and seen the plunger had 3 larger holes which is the problem. The 60wt didn’t make much a difference. I only installed the front ones and even used the taller rear springs on them and you can see that didn’t help either.Basically for them to possibly work you need 80wt or more oil and some heavy springs. Or maybe plugging the holes or something. Oh and they leak far too much for one run.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • The product may not come with all necessary assembly tools, meaning consumers may need to purchase additional equipment to install the shocks properly
