to tell you the truth, I've heard that integy shocks are crap. I've herd they bend easy, and leak. If anything, get the pro-line shocks, they look amazing

I agree, I seen a few Pics of integy shocks and a few other Parts they make that Broke Real easy,
And I heard that there Service sucks too,They probaly aren't worth the money to find out,
When theres Better Companys around.

a shock reservoir/piggy back is used for the cooling of shock oil so the shock does not fade, the hotter the oil gets the thinner it gets slowly making the shock softer. i highly doubt the shock oil in a RC shock will get hot enough to fade. they are generally needed on dirtbikes, fourwheelers, snowmobiles, etc.
