Which shocks to use with aftermarket chassis?
SYSTEM BLOODCLOD - Radio Controlled Monster Trucks (RCMTs)For all the aftermarket clod chassis and the Sassy USA-1 chassis, any 4" shocks will bolt on just fine. The favorites here are the Losi 1.2 and the Associated 1.32 shocks. For those on a budget, the Duratrax 4" competition shocks or the Kyosho long sport shocks work great for a much lesser price. Note however, that many people (including myself) have problems with the Duratrax units leaking - so I would personally recommend the Kyoshos for budget truckers.

SYSTEM BLOODCLOD - Radio Controlled Monster Trucks (RCMTs)For the Clod or Juggernaut, you can purchase the direct Tamiya replacements. Look for 50304 C.V.A Long Shock Unit Set. These are oil-filled units that come in pairs. You will need 4 sets to replace the 8 friction units on the stock Clod. Alternatively, you could use the more common 4" shocks but you will need to drill a hole below the stock mounting holes to make up for the difference in length (4" shocks are shorter than the stock Clod units).

Related QuestionsCan I build an aftermarket-chassis-modified clod without buying the Clod kit?
SYSTEM BLOODCLOD - Radio Controlled Monster Trucks (RCMTs)Yes you can, but you will need to purchase all the parts to build the front and rear gearboxes, the axles, rims and wheels. I've not calculated this myself but some who have claim that the cost of this is almost equivalent to buying the whole kit. In my opinion, getting the entire kit is less troublesome and you get all the other parts too (body, chassis, shocks, etc.).
