Status: offline 		Hi guys I'm fairly new to the rustler scene. starting my rustler almost everything is stock.. while playing I always loose the shock adjuster (to stiffen the spring on the shocks) I was thinking repalcing them with good set of shocks (threaded one) I can't seem to find the proper size (length hole to hole) anyone has an idea or any suggestion to what kind/brand of shocks to get?

thank you

Hey skyline Integy makes some threaded piggyback shocks that fit the rustler.
Front shock blue
Rear shocks blue
I havent had mine long but so far they work great, and you do need to put oil in them when you get them.
They also make them in silver.
