How would these work or is it worth paying a little more for threaded?

What about
Ofna LX One
103cm front 4"
123mm rears 4.75"

a lot more travel than losi 8 eight

Be nice if we all had a place to start and compare
List your truck weight
what shocks
What oil weight
front or rears ?

how you like them ?

Are you using the stock rear springs on these shocks? Are they about the same diameter as the traxxas shocks (fit in RPM a-arms no problem)?
Any pics?

I have a full set of PowerStrokes that I am selling. They are mildly used (about 3-4 hours run time) and were just re-bled not long ago (probably 45 minutes of run time since the re-bleed).

PM me if interested. I have the original box and different pistons as well. They have 35wt oil in them right now and use the standard Red/Yellow spring set.

I ran Ofna Big Bores on both of my CRTs and they were the best shocks I've ever had, hands down.


:D

Glad you like them,
But saying their the best shocks you ever had does not mean anything
If you have only used cheap shocks or plastic bigbores then that statement would mean something
What are you comparing to ?
Do you like them better than Losi8ight ?

Back from the dead... is anyone actually running LST/LST2 shocks?

I ordered some for really cheap... and WOW the photos in this thread don't do them justice lol... They are HUGE. There is no way I can use these with RPM a-arms.... or at least with RPM uppers.

BTW I'm using Ofna LX One Ultra rear shocks all the way around.

I had to buy FLM towers to limit travel. I'm also using the REVO extended output cups on the diff's which help keep the CVD's from popping out.

Only issue is not getting enough 'rebound' out of them... but I'm still looking for more springs to try.
