vcs shock set

[jaejw1]

i love these things,, got them from brp on ebay,, 30bux for the 4 complete with oil inside,,,

the stockers i noticed when i first got them,, would allow the car to bottom from just a foot off the ground and dropping it ... not anymore,, ,,, these things are the bomb,, but ofcourse they are,, it is on the sleeper..

but for 30 bux a set,, cant beat it

Nice scoop for thrity bucks :)
I saw those on the BRP page and I was wondering how good they are.
Any chance of a photo of them fitted?

no problem,, later on today i will be able to upload them... might bash it to hell today to see how well it handles,, jumping off curbs and such,,,

might have to dial in the shocks though by changing their mounting position

yes pics tell all, keep us posted on the shocks.

well i will put the pics up soon,, just wanted to let you know,, that after toying with the adjustments,, kind of soft in the front and harder in the rear,,,, i jumped it off a ledge that was about 4 ,,, the thing landed beautifully,, and all i heard was a slight hint of the bottom hitting the ground,,, i drove off,, and smiled,,


but im sure there are better shocks out there,, but hell if it is good enough for the sleeper,, why not use it for the rc18t...

Most owners like the cosmetic appeal combined with the functionality of the Team Asscociated alloy shocks.
The VCS has been around for a long time and has proven itself to be a reliable and cost effective alternative.
For $30 I'd try the BPR VCS shocks as I'm for funcitonality, then again I'd really like a full set of Team Associated alloy shocks all round too, if I could only find the damned things on Ebay!

The things to avoid are those terrible GPM or "Hot Racing" alloy shocks I've seen on Ebay.

it was more like 3feet,, just went back out to examine it,, but it was still beautiful,,, .. and with the motors i have,, there seems to be no chance of the car rolling over,, since all the wheels do is spin,,, .. but dirt might prove to be a different story.. dont know yet


i need to find more jumps..lol..lol
