00:00If your RC car is bouncing around like a pogo stick every time you hit a jump,
00:04I've got good news, your shocks are probably the cheapest upgrade you'll ever make.
00:08I went digging through the deals, and I found 5 sets of shock absorbers for 1 tenth scale cars
00:13that are actually worth your money. Some of these are under 10 bucks. Let's get into it.
00:20Starting off with the AXS-PED Aluminum Oil Filled Shocks.
00:24These are built specifically for the Tamiya Crowd TT02B, DT02, DT03, DF02, so if you're
00:32running any of those chassis, this is basically a bolt-on job. What I like here is that they come
00:37pre-filled with oil and they've got that proper aluminum body, so you're getting real damping
00:41instead of the mushy plastic friction shocks most kits ship with. They're $18.33, sitting at a 4.7
00:48rating with nearly 5,000 sold. If you want a noticeable handling difference on a Tamiya
00:54without any drama, start here. Now if you're on a tighter budget, take a look at this metal shock
00:59absorber oil damper set for the TT01 and TT02. $5.70. That's it. That's the price of a coffee.
01:10And you're still getting a full metal, oil-filled damper set instead of the stock plastic units.
01:16Yeah, it's a 4.6 rating so it's not the fanciest set on this list, but 4,500 people
01:22have bought these and for a basher or a first upgrade on a beginner car, the value is honestly
01:26ridiculous. This is the just-try-it-and-see option. Next up, the Injura Aluminum Shock Absorbers,
01:34and these are for the crawler people. You get length options from 90 all the way up to 120mm,
01:39so whether you're running an SCX-10, a 90046, a Capra, a TRX-4, or a Gen 8, there's a
01:46size that
01:47fits. These have the best rating on the whole list at 4.8, and the build quality is where Injura
01:52usually earns its money, smooth shafts, proper seals, no weeping oil all over your chassis.
01:59$2199 is the most expensive pick here, but for a scale crawler where slow, controlled articulation
02:04is everything, it's worth the extra few dollars. Then we've got this 4-pack of aluminum shocks for
02:10HSP and HPI cars, available in 68, 98, and 108mm lengths. $8.39 for a set of 4, and get
02:19this,
02:20these have the highest rating on the entire list at 4.9. That's 4,000 buyers and almost nobody
02:26complaining. They'll work on on-road cars, monster trucks, and off-road buggies, so if you've got a
02:32shell full of different 1-10th rigs, these are the flexible option. Honestly, at this price I'd
02:38grab a spare set just to have around. And finally, the aluminum big bore shocks 75-115mm,
02:46aim squarely at LCG cheater rigs, SCX-10S, TRX-4s, and comp builds. Big bore means a wider piston and
02:53more oil volume, which translates to more consistent damping when you're crawling over rough stuff and
02:58the shock is working hard. $7.24 with a 4.8 rating is genuinely hard to argue with.
03:06If you're building a competition rig on a budget where you just like tinkering with your own setup,
03:10he's give you a lot of room to experiment without spending much. All five of these are linked down
03:16in the description, so go check the current prices, they move around a lot. If this helped

03:26Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next one.
