Status: offline 		I am looking for new shocks for my t maxx 3.3. I want something threaded and aluminum. I dont want Integy's. I've had them on my savage and continually bent shock shafts. If you any ideas please let me know. Thanks

Status: offline 		im using 8 UE supershocks. awesome shcocks. you can get them on ebay. i was lucky enough to get all 8 brand new with knucklehead shock towers. with these shocks the suspension is so plush but won't bottom out from an over head drop with 30wt. oil.

the bad part about these shocks is that you will need knucklehead shock towers. or some other mulit-position tower.
here are some pics. i have 8 shocks on it now.


if you want some really strong and scale shocks. get these. my friend got them and they are pretty good also. http://rc4wdstore.com/product_info.php?cPath=57&products_id=541

Status: offline 		if they are the multi position towers then they should. these shocks are slightly longer than the stock shocks so they need to mount higher up on the truck which is why these multi position towers are required.

ya 4 will work. that's what i ran before i added the other 4 and they worked very well.

look on ebay for shocks because you can get them so much cheaper. i got 8 shocks and 2 towers for $102.

Status: offline 		you can always get LST shocks but you will need a conversion kit and with that you can run 4 shocks
