no those shovk would be way to big. i had those redcat alum shocks and there fine. just clean them up,put new oil in them and put locktight(blue) on those bottom caps that keep on uncrewing. if u want a upgrade im preaty sure tmaxx shocks work with a little modding

umm if theres any dirt in them i would take them apart and rebuild them. if not im sure you can just add oil. there is all differnt kinda of shock oil and im not sure whats the best. you will have to wait for somone who knows this stuff to answer you i think you want some kinda silicone shock oil
