The best shocks I have ever built! -
05.16.2009, 02:18 AM
I have built & rebuilt countless numbers of shocks in the 27 years I have been in the hobby, but I just rebuilt a set that were the easiest, smoothest, and most non-frustrating I have ever come across...GS Racing Storm RTR Shocks! They are by no means top-of-the-line shocks, but they are very good, and they are even nickel-plated! Their design, while similar to most 1/8 shocks, is perfect...extremely easy to disassemble, clean, reassemble, fill and bleed. Most of the time I have to bleed each shock at least twice to get the action perfect, but these bled perfectly the first time, with no leaks or overflow what-so-ever! The bladders seat into the 2-piece caps perfectly, are made of excellent silicone, and do their job better than any I have dealt with. The action is the smoothest of any shock I have ever built, there is absolutely zero rebound due to trapped air, and they look great as well! The only thing I would change about them is I would make them threaded...if GS Racing makes a shock just like this, except threaded, I will buy a set for everything I have that uses 1/8 shocks!
Anyway, I just wanted to relay my experience with them...thanks for listening.
