RCG Racing 18-Series Front/Rear Shock Absorbers (2pcs)

My old shocks were leaking oil all over the chassis, so I grabbed these as a drop-in replacement for my brushed monster truck. The fit was perfect, no modifications needed, and they bolted right on in about ten minutes.

Swapped these onto my 18-series short course truck and the difference in handling is immediate—the truck stays planted through bumps now. The oil-filled design really absorbs impacts better than the stock plastic ones ever did.

The rubber boots on these shocks actually keep the dirt out during backyard runs, which was my main worry. My short course truck handles bumps way better now, no more bouncing over small rocks.
