I just installed these same exact Big Bore Shocks on my Big Rock v3 4s conversion with 35wt Oil and So Far So Good!!!✌️👍😁
I've bought 3 sets of those big bore shocks now for my boy's and I. We've given them a few really good bashes and still not leaking. So far I'm really happy with them.

Thank you, im curious about the tires too. They are stiffer so im guessing it might last longer on rough terrian. The stock tires are great but very soft and dont like rocks 😀

Always like your videos. I can also relate to the frustration of videos getting cut shorter than expected for one reason or another. My Senton shocks have not started leaking yet, which is nice, but I'm really not sure what I'll do when they do. I like my Senton, but not enough to spend too much money on it. Knowing me, I'll probably run it without fluid for a while, bouncing along like a buckin' bronco. The biggest problem I've had so far, is bearings locking up after running the truck in the wet. WD40 frees them up pretty quickly so far. I'm still getting to know the truck, and its needs.

I tried running 20 with granite tires and it's fine as long as your not on throttle for a long period of time like doing speed runs back and forth, if your bashing it's fine. I had the esc cut out only when I did speed runs with granite tires.

I was having a lot of problems with rolls as well, i mainly do street/skatepark but i do dirt too. What fixed it for me was putting really thick diff fluid in the front, 125k losi i think, grease in the rear was fine. i believe the issue was while turning the inside front tire would lift and the diff gives most the power to the one with no resistance, outside wheel loses power, catches and flips. If you have brushed get the 3s slipper, allows slipping between front and back diffs and will help keep you planted. Looking into aluminum parts myself. Good luck!
