B44 Shock upgrades

[a1gav]

Hi,

Just wondering what's the best shock upgrade in your guys opinion for the B44?

My fronts are screwed and need repairing or replacing but i don't fancy replacing them with originals especially at forty quid a pop!

Thanks in advance,

Gav.

You pay for what you get - simple as that.

I'e heard of people running losi shocks, but they're more expensive than associated

With the new bleeder caps the associated shocks are fantastic. Losi are good too (Got them on the cat SX)

Do you have the Spare number at hand?

Cheers

I replaced my caps with those and they are so smooth and easy to do now

Cheers for all the info lads.

Repairs it is then with new caps.

Whats best plastic bleeding or alu?

Thanks,

Gav.

I've been considering building up a BJ4 WE out of spares, and for shocks, I came to the conclusion that the Tamiya TRF shocks (on eBay) were the best choice - they cost about £45 a set.

plastic by a mile. I sometimes wonder how I put up with alu ones for so long.

I have to say the Tamiya TRF shocks are surprisingly nice to build and very well priced.

Anyone tried to squeeze on yokomo big bores on yet? Are the lengths similar?
