Desert lizard shocks

[Kimmie28]

Any real world opinions on these? I want to run 100mm desert lizards in a semi droop setup on my scx10. I'd like some real world opinions from people who have actually run them so I can make an informed choice. Shocks on it now are pretty good but are just a little short for some of the areas I end up in. Any info would be great thanks

First, take my opinion for what its worth. I'm relatively new to crawling (2-3 years) and don't have a lot to compare them to. Second, my crawling style is probably closer to bashing than actual crawling.

That being said, I can attest that they are very durable shocks. I've been running a set on an Axial Capra for a couple years now with no issues at all. And out of all the crawlers I have (Six 1/10 scale and three 1/24 scale), the capra seems to be the most capable. Looks like water flowing over the rocks.

I've got a set on my ecto, if i could afford em id have them on all of my crawlers. smooth as butter, mine havent ever bound or bled, and I'm "alledgedly" rough on my rc?
o and i think they look cool af too

before and after, i think the lizards look much better than the factory, even tho those element shocks were FANTASTIC. but the lizards have more travel, and stay cleaner, but mostly i think the internal spring shock looks better imo

I'd say that too . I'd actually run mine the same way. I'll be getting a set next week when I go to the "big city" with my wife. She has an appointment and that just gives me the excuse to go to a hobby shop.
