What shocks are these ?

PshmokN’EM887 · Feb 2, 2022

I want to know what schools are these and if they’ll fit my exb kraton if not what I other I can get ?
These are the shocks

Yonic · Feb 2, 2022

Those are the Team Durango, basically Arrma before it was called Arrma

I would guess those are the DEX8 shocks, which is what the Typhon was called when it was still a racing car.

These are pretty close to the stock shocks if i'm honest, apart from the color, and the fact that the cap have a bleeding screw. most of the parts are exactly the same as the current shocks

Thanks bud they look beefier I like them .

Yonic · Feb 2, 2022

They are less beefy, the shaft is thinner than what is used now.
Anyway if you want look for the ones for the Truggy, which was called DEX8T

If you want something that looks similar, you can de-anodize your shocks. As you can see by the pictures in the linked thread, they start to look very similar once you get rid of the red color. https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/wanting-to-de-anodize-my-shocks.42909/page-2 There are also several videos on YouTube.

The thread discusses two options, oven cleaner or lye (also called caustic soda or NaOH). I've used both. I found lye to work much better, faster. But you do have to be more careful using it. It will burn skin and the fumes are dangerous. Oven cleaner will do the same, but it's not as strong. That's why it works slower. Don't get fume-free oven cleaner, it doesn't work at all. With both options you should use caution and a well-ventilated area. I used gloves, eye protection and a mask.

I would look at the Arrma Typhon 6s shocks as replacements.

or more precisely, the TLR Typhon, as the v5 Typhon shocks are too short

This. The Team Durango shocks just like the V1-V2 Arrma shocks and only have 3.5mm shock shafts. I would not use them bashing.

If you have your heart set on buying new shocks your best bet is full option Tekno shocks from the MT410 but you are looking at about $200 once everything is said and done.

You will also need 4 M3 lock nuts 4 M4 lock nuts and a 4mm drill bit to drill out the shock towers.

Mmmmmm tekno shocks… almost worth buying the kit for just a spare set of shocks

Those TLR shocks are probably the plushest shocks you can get right now. LOVING them!!! But they're hella expensive. The markup on them is crazy even if you go with Jenny's. She's charging around around 60 bucks for a set of 2 front or rear.

They are? I thought they were similar in size?

And I lied above the DEX8 shocks use 4mm shafts.

SrC · Feb 9, 2022

Go with Mojo/Typhon shocks.
When the Delrin TLR Pistons and Delrin bottom cartridge and seals become available from Arrma in 5 years

ROFLMAO

upgrade your shocks with them. They will become as plush as the TLR T shocks. You will need all the bottom cartridge parts together, and they will fit any of the 6s stocker shocks.
What I would do.

Yes, they are much longer, by 6mm I think. event though the TLR towers are higher, still I've got a lot more droop compared to the v5

Oh wow I did not realize that.

Thank you all for the input. I have really considered the proline set since they are closest to length and seem to have a quality build. If anyone thinks otherwise I'm open to suggestions! Fronts are 100mm and rears are 120mm expanded. Not building this to really be a basher, more of a shelf queen and track killer. I'll post pics if anyone is interested after my build! Thank you everyone

Do you have a link I’m looking for kexb 1/8

Can I use those on kexb 1/8 scale?

The Proline shocks will not work with an 1/8th scale vehicle. They are barely adequate for the 1/10th scale vehicles. And you can seriously buy 2-3 sets of Arrma takeoff shocks for about the same price as a set of the Prolines they are way overpriced for what they are.

No they are 1/10th scale shocks.

No they are too short.

Literally your best options for the Kraton 6s is either stock shocks or full option Teknos. The cheap Chinese shocks are cheap for a reason, no qc, their 5mm shafts bend easier than the stock 4mm, the rod ends break, they leak, they fall apart ect.
