The HR or Treal would be what I will go with, but not a priority. There are a few different sizes from Axial availble for these, and you can get the longer ones and bend them with heat from a reflow. I think that is what Pat did for Taco.

I will say this...
Based on some experience with Treal customer service on a replacement - they are awesome. And the quality of their machining is superb. Hot Racing stuff - it's ok. Not superb though
You don't really want oil filled shocks on it. The stock shocks are fine. These small rigs - oil viscosity scaled up is through the roof
Well I'm doing a brushless conversion on it and the main brushless motors that are being used for this purpose are outrunners. The problem with the outrunners are when you really get on the throttle the torque from the can rotating torques the whole rig sideways momentarily. I need something better than the stock shocks to help alleviate the torque twist thats created and the only way I can think to do that is better shocks.
Are you building it into a basher or rock bouncer? You aren't going to see much torque twist in a crawler. Even with an outrunner. I don't know of any 24th scale shocks that aren't friction shocks. Even on 1/16 scale, my WPL's didn't do well at all when I experimented with oil filled shocks, so I went back to friction shocks.
