According to proline they do work on the sc10 but when I put them side by side the proline shocks seem to be about 5mm longer than the stock sc10 shocks (I have a Factory Team SC10).
Is it even worth using the powerstroke shocks or are the stock ones really good? (The ones on my truck seem to be leaking).
Thanks for the help!
I run the powerstrokes over the AE big bores. I run Avid springs on mine and have also replaced the stock pistons with M2C racing conical pistons. It makes the shocks amazing! You will also need to get the universal mounting kit from proline or shim them up yourself.
Here's some older shots I found before I put the avids on so you can see how stock will look. I used the traxxas upper spring retainers after I put on Avid springs too. They felt a bit more secure under the ride hight nuts, but fit fine without them as well.
