i think they could make them more like a dirtbike style shocks, more like the front forks (the nitrogen rear shocks bikes have are out of the question and will make cost of racing go WAY up i would think), having springs and valving all inside the shock, i think it would make the buggy/truggy basically driving itself though, there would be far less crashing especially going into turns. but then it might also not be good for the hobby because that type of shocks are very complicated and hard to work on. but you wouldnt hardly have to work on them, there are to many trade offs to list between each.

as of right now, i feel like its all coming down to the shock pistons, different hole size, different amount of holes and different types of tapper pistons is really making these shocks work extremely well.
