Status: offline 		MONTF - welcome to the world of buggies. I also have a Storm pro, and have yet to have that problem. If yours is the RTR version, you may want to rebuild them, make sure they were assembled right. All buggy shocks are basically the same. the design around the o rings, piston, ect is the same on my Storm Pro, TTR EB-4 S2, and my friends Inferno.

Status: offline 		nah, it's a pro, i just don't like how everything is held in w/ a freakin e clip...doesn't seem strong enough to me...would like some new shocks...any ideas where i could pick up some mugens or some other aftermarket shocks... maybe my track's jumps are a bit big, but happens repeatedly...I'm not a newbie, maybe to 1/8 scale, but i've built about 12 1/10 buggy kits in my time...just seem a little flimsy is all...
thanks
