The 5 Best Aluminum Shocks (2023 reviews)

These shocks are a vast upgrade over stock scx24 shocks as they travel much further and very smoothly. They're perfect for rasing it up. They are not oil-filled shocks and do not come with oil. They come with additional weight springs so you have great tune options for them.

Putting an extra O-ring that they include sandwiched between the shock and shock mount gives it some more room to flex. It keeps the same ride height but gives you way more travel and flex. They are longer than the stock shocks which allow the truck's suspension to flex more. They're not oil-filled shocks and do not come with oil.

Why We Like This:

Has tons more flexibility than the stock shocks ever did
Great budget upgrade and matches great with red colour
One of the new comers and featured product

Best For big jumps: Hobbypark Aluminum Shock

Buy on Amazon

These are great shocks for driving around and light off-roading. They fit the slash 4x4, come with screws and spacers. It is great for making room for the larger diameter of the shock where it connects to the shock tower. They will bend before they break and still work properly. These shocks have a screw collar so there are no spacers.

Why We Like This:

Great looking and easy to install
Works excellent on nitro slash 2wd
Very thick bars and high temse springs

Best For RC Truck: GDOOL Aluminum Shock

Buy on Amazon

The gdool aluminum shock's material feels more premium than its price would suggest. Shocks are a little stiff for stock weight but they fit great. They look pretty aggressive on the 9125 and it lands jumps with a nice dampened thud rather than a bottoming out pop. It is good for a rc truck. The springs on these are way softer than the Gen 7 Pro, and they perform way better on a basically stock setup.

The water bottle is a dasani purified water bottle for context and the tums bottle is the big 140 tablets bottle to show how much it is lifted with these shocks. It takes like a 3 ft drop to really push them down on the truck. It is compatible with 1/10 hpi axial tamiya rc cars.

Why We Like This:

Great product good for rc truck
Lot of satisfied buyers

Best For being regular non Oil filled Shocks: Chivao Aluminum Shock

Not everyone likes to purchase shock for their daily usage, but the chivao aluminum shock would be an anomoly. The double barrel or long travel shocks are what you want for performance.

It includes 4 pieces of double tube absorber dampers and 4 pieces of spare springs.

It comes with nice shock absorption and innovative parts design, this set is compatible with.

The stiff springs are too stiff for any foreseeable intended use.
