Need some help guys!
Well I got my parts from Eddie today!!!!, Ran into one problem so far, I was putting on thee shock towers and well... they don't fit... I had to save off some plastic to it sits on the grove correctly..Works fine.. Then I went to slide the pin thru the arms into the shock towers ( this is the front setup btw ) And the pin is to short? Any help?
I also Got My T-Maxx shocks today, And I got the bottom parts mounted but now Its the top part?? How did some of You do it?.. But If I get the upgraded shock towers on, I know I will have to get longer screws.

Zeen Bro.....
Those TMAX Shocks are 3/4 inch Longer than the STOCKIES......They also have MUCH stiffer Springs.
That is gonna be the STIFFEST buggy Suspension in the World...
May be good for Jumping though.......

shocks will be great for off road but i dont know about onroad. i put new proline dirt hawgs front and rear on my buggy and i am constantly flipping it on tight and wide high speed turns. lol. I didnt realize that when the car is skidding on its roof that the cooling head will spark when it is grinding on the pavement.lol

I also found with the T-maxx shocks and these new tires, Fast tight turns are impossible but it rides very smooth and jumps really nice.. I got a vid up in and post.
