Your stock shocks are better than anything you'll get from GPM.
My recommendation is to pimp out your current shocks instead of getting new ones. Fancy racer pistons or possibly a M2C shock kit?

I cant seem to find any upgrades for them, im always bending the shock rods, they are too thin
 
Arrma V6 Kraton / Notorious.
Front, 117mm. Same as your shocks.
Rear, 134mm. 5mm longer.
If this fits what you're looking for then ADU makes burly upgrade versions of them.

I have a 21 Kronos XTR. It’s my only TC rc, IDK if TC has changed much since 2021, but I feel that the Arrma 6s shocks are indeed better quality overall. Certainly stronger if nothing else, plus side to running Arrma shocks is the aftermarket support for them. Very popular.
I’ve been running Kraton 6s shocks on my Kronos for a few years now, no problems.
 
There are some pretty burly aftermarket versions of Arrma shocks, but I don't think Arrma shocks themselves are any tougher than Corally's.

The rear shock in this pic has the same problem as your shocks.

Think im going to go with GPM shocks for the arrma kraton, they have a 6mm shaft.
Hopefully they will fit my kagama
 
The only Corally shocks I could find on the GPM site are for the Sketer.
Front 130.
Rear 130.
If these are them then your fronts will be massively too long.
Vitavon also makes really burly Kraton shocks. I have lots of stuff from both ADU and Viavon and have never been disappointed.

Anything can be broken. What makes Arrma shocks better is thicker shafts, pistons and better seals IMO. BTW, RPM arms are a downgrade from Arrma stock, also just my opinion.
Problem with RPM arms is they flex too much, which results in bent or broken dogbones, cvds and shock shafts.
So much so that Tekno says using RPM arms will void the warranty on Tekno driveshafts.

I use alot of GPM items on my xmaxx's & xrt's and im more than happy with the quality of it all

Glad to hear. I have a several of their parts on my K8 and UDR. I'm very impressed with their cvd's and diff output cups, Arrma parts wear much faster than GPM. Traxxas diff cups are pure trash, like they're not even heat treated.. I replaced the output cups on my Xmaxx with some ping-pong branded "S2" from Amazon and they're exponentially better and longer wearing than the TRX cups were.

Yeah trx cups are woeful.
I use vitavon 4 way drive cups and they are pretty much indestructible
