Looking for other options on HPI aluminium big bore shock set for my savage XL

[Gentoo]

Thanks for the help. Those springs are nowhere to be found right now. I'll put 35 in there and see how it goes. I've got a month or so before they get here so some time to think on it 😛

Here they are on my Savage XL and to be honest they are pretty decent. They don't leak and are heavier than the HPI big bore shocks by 10 grams only.

Could u fit a 8 shock system with those alyexpres shocks or are they too bug and rub?

I wouldn’t know as the idea had never crossed my mind before. I will look into it soon and will let you know. I must tell you this though: my savage has got more real estate than a standard savage due to FLM towers and extended arms...

I use the aluminum big boy shocks on both of my savages that I bought on ebay from King Hobby. Go look them up, they work great with just a little work and tuning. I have them on my off road X and on my street set up. The street set-ups I had to modify a bit to accommodate it being slammed, but they run great especially with a set of sway bars.

Sorry, Big Bore. 😉

I got the big bore shock set from HPI to me it was not worth it they leaked bad. Then I purchased the 5mm Shaft Big Bore ALUMINUM SHOCK SET for HPI SAVAGE 4.6 5.9 FLUX (2pcs) SAV8001 for $38.99 from rc4me.us web site good shocks came prefilled with oil and they don’t leak also they are all aluminum.

Like I stated in my above post you can get the big bore shocks in a plastic version and they do work quite well....
Please read the posts a bit more carefully and it will save you time, I included a link to sets of plastic big bores for your reference.....
I highly doubt you will find any alloy shocks prebuilt for your rig so the plastic may be the best option to go with

So I bought the big bore shocks and I snapped the shock rod end that goes into the a arm?? And I can NOT find a replacement part?? I'm trying to go to aluminum but I can't even find plastic! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! It also doesn't help that idk how to measure them? But I can't use just any cuz of the way it sits inside the bottom cap? Plz help!! Thank you in advance
