My only gripe is that they stick. After the first run they worked as they should once you get running and did not leak. When you push down on the car/chassis there is a slite stick/stutter hope that makes sense. I'm hoping over time it will resolve itself. 

A little bit of Associated Green Slime goes a long way to freeing up a sticky shock shaft

SO true!!! Use it on ALL Shock builds. If that's out of stock (frequent in these times!), TLR or Losi Racing sells the SAME formula, at a comparable Price. 

It even works great for lubricating Suspension Shafts, as it doesn't attract dirt as much as standard Oils!

I recently purchased some for Kyosho Optima Mid - the quality "feels" good and seem well made. https://www.ebay.com/itm/4pcs-Front-Rear-Shock-Absorbers-For-RC-Hobby-Car-1-10-Kyosho-Optima-4WD-New/113489962638?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=413690583834&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

I had a set of those in 60mm. Horrible shocks and very hard springs. Lots of leaking and no proper damping. I gave them away.
