Status: offline 		I am looking for good quality after market shocks for a Rustler VXL...a bit stiffer than stock for bashing over rough terrain. Any suggestions?

Why would you need resoviors on rc cars? I mean I know why on dirt bikes and 1:1 racing trucks, but there is no need for 1/10 cars!

Status: offline 		there OK. They are aluninum and threaded which is nice but it doesn't use hard alumiunum shock bodies so the threades wear out faster.

In your definition good shocks, do you mean good for racing or bashing? I mean for $60 you can get a pair of AE or losi threaded chocks that perform better I would think because those are racing shocks.
