RE: HPI big bore shocks
you could and yeah they fit in the originals spot but I would just change the oil weight and get differnt springs to suit what you need
will save you the cash to buy something else

RE: HPI big bore shocks
yeah i agree, i run 30wt and black springs and i like that with 7k diff oil while where talking about set ups i also run on the lowest ground cleance setting with a preload clip on 4 of the shocks so of the 2 shocks per wheel one has preload, but i may try a higher mount...

like i said i'll make um fit i can always cut a strip out of the side to shorten up the radius and CA it back together then silicone in to the body and that little rubber thingy thats right about the spring cup so you don't destroy your shocks when you bottom out
