Status: offline 		do u know what the trinity blue springs stiffness rating is? example the traxxas red springs are 2.5? i believe dual rate springs are 3.00 at the beginnning of travel and then increase to 7.00!!!

Status: offline 		You can't go wrong with the Big Bores, they are an all around good upgrade. You should be able to pick them up for $50-$60.

We run Ofna 9.5 front buggy (front) threaded shocks on our Maxx's (the back one's are slightly too long for what we need). Around $35 a pair.

The idea of external shock reservoirs on the latest shock craze seems pretty cool but a lot of extra weight if you ask me.

Or, for about $25 you can pick up aluminum shock caps which will help ensure your stockers stay together and place the other $75 into a pipe and rechargeable receiver battery pack if you haven't done so already?

Status: offline 		We use these on our Bashers and on our racer Maxx Ofna 9.5 1/8 scale shocks

Eight of them per truck is rather spendy, however, I have purchased a total of 24 of them over the past year or two for around $35-$40 a pair. These are really tough to beat!
