Hmmm I actually rate the Bigwig shocks in front of the Super Hornet

More seriously, the Tamiya TRF shocks are great, there have some kind of chrome covering on the inside of the shock body, this, I think is what makes them so good.

Whats the problem with the TC3 shocks? I've got the older non threaded bodys and I hardly touch them, really reliable and very smooth, and no squeeking.

I'm not as impressed with the Hudy Evo 2 Shocks - yet. I've found them very tricky to build but the action is quite good, I have to admit the external damping adjustment is really nice and seems to work, unlike to ones from the Schumaker Bosscat from about 10 years ago.
