Thank you so much for this Reddit article! I knew a lot about most of these upgrades but not in this depth.
Also, with the Hot Racing shock bodies do you need anything else or do they work with the stock shock caps and shock rods?

All the stock hardware swaps right over to the Hot Racing shock bodies. The only thing that you might want is some Green Slime.

Also I honestly don't understand how that guy sat there and made that entire article only to recommend the Traxxas aluminum GTR shocks........

Update: I ordered four Hot Racing shock bodies. I’ll replace all four and probably get some harder oil. I also got a set of the stock shock caps because I couldn’t find the Hot Racing ones.

I got them installed! I also put 60wt shock oil, it’ll probably need thicker if I get to building more jumps.
