The FT shock bodies work great. Maybe you just need a rebuild?

I agree with ICrashThings. The Factory Team shocks are good stuff.

Tower has them. They are the blue anodized ones. The same shock body is for the RTR and the factory team kit.
Like ICrashThings said in his reply, maybe you don't really need new shock bodies. A new set of unobtainium shafts and a rebuild kit, and you could be back in business!
Not to say you couldn't have an extra set of shocks laying around....Might be nice if you wanna change from offroad to some pavement action, just slap on the street shocks when you switch to street tires, and GO!

Take them apart check the o-rings and make sure they are put together correctly. If the o-rings look good and they were built correctly you may have a bent shaft. Take it out and take all the pieces off the shaft and roll it on a flat surface. If it rolls funny replace it. If it rolls fine and the o-rings are good just make sure they are built right.
