Actully they have preety good shocks. i taken mine to one, and drove off the roof, only the shock cap busted off! Use like 30wt, for soft impacts, and get titium shafts, they stronger.
or just get alum scock sets!

Try some aluminum tmaxx shocks, I bought some for my nitro mt racer from Hot Bodies off ebay(rc boyz) for 45$ set. The stock plastic shocks suck, they come apart. I use 30wt silicone shock oil in the front and 40wt in the back that you buy at the lhs.
