Your welcome, oh I am not sure if it will work on the volcano, but I am using traxxas rustler big bore shocks, it's a night and day difference. Af for the axles I will share picts of my setup for you once I am able. I was having the same problem with the tornado, it's been a good 8 months since I did the axle mod and the only issue I have had is the plastic diff cups that are screwed to the main diff gear. They tend to tear them selves apart every 20 hours or so, at least it's around 5 dollars for 2 cups and it's less then an hour to change both. That and shock towers from abusive driving! Other then that I have to say it has been maintenence free. I know how you feel I used to have to fix something daily. The axle setup is sort of pricy, it cost me about $160 and time but I have to say it was well worth it. Now I get to drive a stable rc, not spend my time on the work bench.
