buggy shocks
I have a storm pro and am having shock issues, i keep blowing out the orings on the front shocks, i used to race 1/10 scale back in the day, jrx2's and what not, i don't like the way the shocks on my storm are designed...Where can i get mbx5 shocks or any aftermarket buggy shocks...Want some new ones...please help...

RE: buggy shocks
MONTF - welcome to the world of buggies. I also have a Storm pro, and have yet to have that problem. If yours is the RTR version, you may want to rebuild them, make sure they were assembled right. All buggy shocks are basically the same. the design around the o rings, piston, ect is the same on my Storm Pro, TTR EB-4 S2, and my friends Inferno.

RE: buggy shocks
nah, it's a pro, i just don't like how everything is held in w/ a freakin e clip...doesn't seem strong enough to me...would like some new shocks...any ideas where i could pick up some mugens or some other aftermarket shocks... maybe my track's jumps are a bit big, but happens repeatedly...I'm not a newbie, maybe to 1/8 scale, but i've built about 12 1/10 buggy kits in my time...just seem a little flimsy is all...
thanks
thanks

RE: buggy shocks
my storm shocks in the rear both blow out all the time. I think I'm gonna give up on them and switch over to Mugen or K2 shocks....
