I am thinking about picking up some of the 93mm for my SCX10 scaler. For me it's more for looks, but it would be fun to play with them just to see how they work.

I wish I knew what rate springs they come with. They show these shocks as being used in all different kinds of vehicles, but the spring rates required are going to vary quite a bit. I'm sure other springs can be used, but it would be nice to know what ones they come with. Judging by that video on the Gmade website, for a scaler that would need super soft springs you might even be able to skip springs altogether and use the pressure adjustment on the piggyback to provide enough rebound.

Also, CKRC Crawlers has these shocks if people want to order inside the US. I think the Ebay ones were direct from Gmade in Korea?

those shocks look cool, bookmarked that, after 4 new tires for the jetta, paying off the credit card for a fishing trip to colorado and a week in sydney for 2 maybe I can recycle beer cans and pick up a set before the snow starts falling here

I share the same concern Champ... it seems that i would need four shocks for a maxx setup... my truck won't work with four at this time...

I am considering two things to fix my issue (for now)... the first is to add the foam rubber piece behind bladder... the second is to setup
the shock for a very low rebound... I going to try this setup in the weekend and see how it goes...

Since went off on a slight tangent regarding new shocks... just curious, has anyone experienced 'Ofna Big Bore' Shocks on a Maxx or any other vehicle similar?
