Hello! I’m getting back into the scene after a 25 year absence. In the last year I picked up a couple of Arrma Granites (for kids), and Associated Reflex B for myself and I’m also building a new Kyosho Turbo Optima. That said I just got a new Slash 4x4 VXL for a custom desert buggy build (shown below with stock shocks), and need some recommendations on shocks as within 5 minutes of the first run a rear broke. How do the Proline Powerstokes and Traxxas GTR’s stack up against each other, price aside? Not racing this but I do want some flexibility in tuning. Thanks!

I have used older hot bodies alum purple shocks on a slash, a few trucks, and a race build maxx and love them, I have a new set in stock if you would want them for $40 shipped in the u.s.
 
HR has cool shocks any travel you will need and they warranty there stuff. You could do straight shocks or coils that’s up to you.

Thanks for the lead. Do you know the part number by chance?

Part number is up to you what travel you want. Most mine are 15-25 inches you might need smaller. Hit up Maximum.
Just say what scale to HR and they can help you out. Will cost little more but worth it. Trust me ohhh wait don’t trust me I know nothing. Simple facts in life
