Xray plastic shocks were ok on my T1R, but the car was transformed with TRF shocks. So far, I found only the Yokomo shocks to be on par with Tamiya's, although the Kyosho shocks on my ZX-5SP were pretty close.
Let's just hope that pistons are not mounted with tiny, self-loosening screws...
Things are starting to get interesting again. There are at least three new 4WDs on the horizon we know of with the Xray, JQ and X-Factory buggies, and TLR capacities seem to be freed up also with the release of the 22SCT... I'm still waiting for the annual B-Max4 revision!
