Forgot to update this after I got the Gmade XD shocks.

They are definitely high quality and nice and smooth. Built easily and easy to bleed and get the amount of oil in each one matched. The seals are loaded in a cartridge, which should help prevent blowouts in bigger trucks. That along with the functional piggybacks makes for a nice set of shocks.

The included oil was unlabeled, but looked quite thin, I'd guess 10-20wt. It has a yellowish tint, and I doubt it's pure silicone oil. I decided to use real 30wt silicone oil. The included medium springs are pretty soft, but I ordered some soft springs to try too. Probably leave the medium in front on my SCX10 since the battery weight is there, and use the soft in the rear. Taking vacation 4th of July week, so I'll get some good testing in then.

And Alien, unfortunately the piggyback caps do not fit on the Ofna 13mm shock bodies.

Hey Champ... thanks for the update man... The sounds like a good buy... pitty the piggyback won't fit...

I rebuilt the shocks with a new set of bladders and followed the instructions which was basically a setup for low rebounds... the shocks still
has some nice dampening tendencies even with this setup and 70wt... when i get some time, I will do a little thrashing and see how well
they'll hold up.
