Great shocks. Seem tough. Fit my 4x4 Vorteks well (when fronts are stiff enough, the front is too elevated, when body is levelled they are a bit soft)
Great shocks. Seem tough.
Fit my 4x4 Vorteks well (when fronts are stiff enough, the front is too elevated, when body is levelled they are a bit soft) just a minor cosmetic thing.
Item description is not very precise, ex. would love to be able to first chose the vehicle, then chose the colour afterwards.
Some instructions for recommended quantity of oil would be nice.
A variety of metal heads that you could place the factory ball joints into would make them top tier.Read full review...

Okay I guess for the money
The ball ends and shock cap spacers are too small for the truck you have to use spacers to get a snug fit. A real nuisance to pull apart to Green slime the o ring's. I guess what do you expect for the money. Read full review...

Arrived quickly and is what was described
Arrived quickly and is what was described. I have filled with 35wt silicone shock oil and installed on my Arrma Vorteks.The stock Vorteks shocks worked great and I have had zero problems with them, but I had a bad crash into a mailbox post and ripped the left front off my Vorteks! I hoped these Big Bores would at least equal and better than stock, and they seem to be. These Big Bores look great and seem to be quality items. I have seen them on YouTube upgrade videos and that is the reason I decided to go with these Big Bores. I've run these at a great construction site nearby and I think they are better than stock shocks. I have about 2 full hours on them now and like them more each time. Seem to be more stable all around. The photo attached also shows the aluminum support I made to strengthen the front shock tower, which is what broke, as well as lower A-Arm. My only complaint is there is no way to use a Pivot Ball on top of the shocks - I think having a Pivot Ball would be better.
My video "Vorteks Construction Site Fun" on YouTube will show how well they work.

Shocks don’t work as a shock should
Put them on. Romped them around. Now it is rough because the shocks get stuck in full compression. They will not compress in and out. Took them apart. Worked for a bit then started to do it again.
I switched back to my stock ones. Read full review...

Great product
If you have an Arrma Senton 3s or Granite 3s these are the shocks you want to buy. Awesome.

Missing parts
I like the shocks. But missing the upper mounting hardware. Had to purchase it separately. Should have paid more attention to sales picture. I see the missing hare ware with other shocks.

Great shocks!
No leaks after one year. Beefy and excellent fit. Avoid future regret, order now!

Perfect fit for Arrma Senton 3S
These are identical to the factory length, but they have progressive springs and all aluminum! Came with plastic spacer to ensure a tight fit without wobble. If you own a Senton, buy these shocks!

Fit very nice on arrma granite. One bent within a week but was sent a replacement right away for free. Great buy!
