i would like to use the innovative shocks fronts all round...is this possible?

Any shock for the Baja you would want 4 fronts. They will be a bit long for the front but will still work.

Did you check out nutech USA?

What side of the pond are you on?

I am in California...looked at the nutech...much better price point for sure. The truck is pretty light so the innovative Rc shocks may be over kill since the there isn't much of a selection for springs.

I had them on my 5t and had the hardest time tuning them to handle in racing conditions..way to bouncy.

Just seems like the stock redcat shocks have something to be desired...saw beastlys build and the nutechs looked nice for sure.

Baja shocks, you want to run front shocks at all four corners. I want to try the I-RC shocks on my MT. The 8mm shock shaft is just nuts. The Nutech's look nice, as well. You can work with the stock shocks, too. The Baja front springs will work on them. You'd run front springs on all four shocks. So you have a few spring options.

You could also try the Losi shocks. Here's a set on an XB-E.

Not bad. I was actually wondering how the nutechs would work on the 5ive. Stock is never good enough. I read that the 5ive owners are seeking improvements.

The Xseries are almost half the weight, so those shocks should hold up well. Not cheap though.

nutech usa shipping 42.00 bucks for shocks wtf.

that is not kewl at all

 

[Guest]

I plugged in an order for a set of four and it charged me $18 ???

 

[Guest]

That was for 2 day shipping if I change it to ground it was only $7

Lmfao...I inserted my zip and it came up with that price...found out after going further and creating an account...that was next day shipping..

They really need to fix that...it is a real turn off..I almost walked..instead I bought a set of tbII threaded shocks.

I had a set and they are beastly...I had em on a Baja...honestly they were tough to tune for racing...but would have been perfect for bashing jumping

They look beastly! The shaft is thicker than my dogbones.
