Will Traxxas Slash shock's bolt on my Ecx Amp? They're the same length.

Hoping someone knows the answer, don't want to order from china if possible.

I have Traxxas Stampede shocks on my Torment so I would think they would fit on the Amp.

Ok awesome thank you, didn't want to order them if they don't fit.

You might need to use a spacer on the shock tower so the cap doesn't hit depending on where you mount your shock. The eyelet of the shock is a little closer to the top of the shock on the Traxxas shocks.

Okay thank you, was hoping maybe at the very least it would bolt up to the lower hole on my shock Tower.

I am pretty sure that you will need a spacer for the lower mounting hole on the tower. I can double check tonight when I get home.

And as a side note be weary of the cheap Chinese shocks, there is a lot of inconsistencies between batches of shocks. Spring rates are random, shock pistons have random sized holes, they leak and the shafts have a tendency to bend.

Okay thanks for the info can you recommend one that's not going to completely break the bank that is halfway decent

Traxxas Ultra Shocks with aluminum caps is going to be the best budget option. You could always run without the stock caps just keep in mind they can pop off.

Yep, know problem, like one user said, yo u might have too use a spacer on the shock tower. The spacer's usually comes with the shocks. Below is a picture of one of my ECX trucks with spacer's used on the front shocks. Usually yo u will get different types of spacer's. Your can also make your own if need be.
