Best aftermarket SHOCKS for SLASH
There are so many to choose from!! First are the aluminum bodied Traxxas Big Bores. These appear to be pretty decent. Are the stockers just fine? I'm buying a Slash shortly and just want the best possible shocks for racing on a track. Preferably with threads, but whatever. No, don't recommend the Losi 8ight shocks. Again it's for racing, not jumping off the house.

Well...you said the best...
Kyosho RT5 shocks. I built my RB5 shocks and they are the best/smoothest shocks I've ever owned.
However, they're pricey. I'm ordering a set of Traxxas Slash specific aluminum big bores for my other ride.

I think you'd be happy with the big bores from Traxxas. Check your local rules about shocks before you buy though, that may move you to the mod class.

In the Box Stock class, you're not allowed to mess with them. I'll be running in our Pro2 Class with a 10.5 motor, probably some GooseBumps or Bowties, and still unsure about shocks.
Again, I am real clueless about these. I see so many aftermarket options on ebay, and spring options, etc. I would really love some feedback with people's experience with what they have tried for the track.

I've owned my Slash almost a year and I've been pretty brutal to it. I like the stockers, to be truthful. There's nothing wrong with plastic shocks.

That swaybar mount is sweet. Where'd you pick that up? Did it imporve the handling much?
