Does anyone have them, how do you like them?? Are there better shocks out there for the same price?


Thanks

They are good shocks. Nice and smooth with the TiNi coating.. I dont think there are any better shocks out there, personally I would just do a 4 shock conversion using hellfire shocks or something[8D]

If you can find these anywhere I think they are on par with the big bores or even better http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXHKB4&P=SM

I don't think anyone carries them anymore so that kinda sucks.

THey may be better, but cost twice as much[:@]

Well I was out Driving yesterday and I hit a curb wrong, I Broke my front left bottom arm, and bent both of the front shocks. I figured instead of just rebuilding the two maybe upgrade to the big bore shocks. I think that 60 bucks is a pretty good deal for 8 shocks.

Question: Would converting to 4 shocks be good for bashing? That is really all that I do, wouldn't 4 be more for racing??

More on the Big Bore Shocks Please, Good upgrade or is there something better?

rcnitrohead

It has benefits for both bashing and racing. 4 shock setup: Less weight, less maintenance, just as durable or even more durable (depending which shocks you buy), and less parts to break..

So you think that I should go with 4 even though I bash, man I am talkin like 8-10 feet of air, nothin' will brake? It don't sound right

rcnitrohead

Less is more Its all up to you..

If you use stiffer shocks then it won't matter how high you jump (within reason).

The Big Bores are nice. I have some, but I like the adjustable screw type better. I got a set for about the same or less. I just prefer them over the plastic spacers.

ok, thanks I think I am going to get them, no thanks to any of the people on this forum.

Don't use the springs they come with(they are too soft). Just use the stock springs. [8D]

rcnitrohead

The stock springs are way soft too.. My bro uses RcRaven's dual rate black springs on his big bores and the setup is very good for small jumps... I have super stiff chrome dual rates and those things wont bottom out no matter what..

What???

Where did you get the chrome ones, I found the black ones, nice, do you have a link to the chrome ones??

NStampede Freak

The big-bore springs are softer than stock. I dunno why Traxxas even puts those crappy springs in there.

6 of 8 of my stock e-maxx shocks are bent. I dont have the money to fix them.

[8D]Hey there, I have several sets of the traxxas big bore shocks and find them to work very well. Excellent quality for the money. Also worth considering are the progressive rate springs available through RC Raven ,RC Boyz (ebay)
