Seriously guys? No problems
ever with Associated shocks? No leaking? No build inconsistencies? You can build them the exact same way every time? No O-ring swelling? No plastic clips falling out because of bad body machining? No caps leaking on the top of the original gold shocks? No sloppy piston fit?
Wow, you guys must build shocks
way better than me to have never have had a problem with them.
Or, you must not have ever built anything else. IMO, they are the worst shocks on the market in 2010. Everything else out there is a better shock, in my experience. Tamiya, Kyosho, Losi, Schumacher—all make a much better buggy shock. And that's not even including Xray, Serpent, Corally or Mugen shocks, which are all also better build quality and easier to build properly. Go take a look at Kinwald's current cars, and he's not using Associated shocks. There is a big reason for that.
I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.
If you think Associated shocks are the best out there, you should really try building some other company's shocks.
