I'm using 3 Racing's Tamiya DT02 shocks on my monkey., indoors and out. They're about £18 a set and havn't leaked any oil in two months use. the springs that come with them are stiffer too, better for the big jumps!.

Try eBay but I don't know if they make it quieter, my gearbox is quiet, try loosening the gear mesh with the motor
