Suspension upgrade for an RC18B?
Hey guys i just got an RC18B and i want to do a combo of street and off road racing with it but i notice that when i run through the grass it bounces all over the place and ends up flipping or i have to slow it down (and i am using the stock motor). Is there an upgraded suspension system you would recommend for this. I want to run it on our dirt track at our hobby shop too. So any suggestions would be great. Thanks

I got the GPM shocks for mine. They're all aluminum and much better than stock. The stock ones on mine leaked like crazy. They also make 3Racing shocks that I've heard are pretty nice.

well i got the aluminum billet upgrade kit that Team Associated sells and it came with aluminum shock towers but the springs are the sam and they still have the same plastic caps on the top and bottom. I am looking for something that is going to be good for both street racing and off road and also on a dirt track as well.

Do you have a link to them. I am completely new to RC cars and it would help alot if you had a link to the 3 Racing shocks. I was looking on their site and didn't see anything for the RC18 for shocks.

I was thinking of getting these for my RC18B. They look really nice, but it seems weird that they don't snap onto a ball, they have screws and bushings.

They are out of stock at Tower until Early February. They are cheaper then the Associated aluminum shocks and longer.
What do you guys think of these for an RC18B, RC18T or RC18MT? I've got all three.
