Yeah I agree you can use them, but look here at facts with the Traxxas shock being longer then the BB, a Traxxas shock to your BB it will compress the shock down to the size of a BB shock which in turn gives you less shock travel, do to the size of the canister which is longer that will put more stress on your shock towers which will cause the towers to bend or break on a jump because of the less shock travel and longer canister.
