What shocks do you have on your Maxx's?
What shocks do you all run if not the stock items. I've been looking at front 1/8 buggy shocks and TRX BigBores. Pics would be the best to explain what you have and how the mount up.

RE: What shocks do you have on your Maxx's?
I am currentley using RC-one or IMEX RC silver non resevior shocks....they are big and tough but the bottom knurled nut has come loose on 2 of them causing all of the oil to leak out....since I applied some locktite I have had no other issues with them.
If I ever buy shocks again for a Tmaxx they will be 1/8th scale truggy or buggy shocks for sure.....Can't be beat especially since you can get away with running 4 instead of 8

I have run a bunch of shocks over the years, and Traxxas Big Bores are in the top of the best shocks I have ever run, besides LST shocks. They are silky smooth and super strong. If you are looking to upgrade, 100% Traxxas big bores. The 8 shocks give you much more adjustability over 4 shocks, in terms of being able to run different spring combinations and oils.

RE: What shocks do you have on your Maxx's?
I've got RPM towers coming for my E-Maxx. How do you mount the UE shocks?
What's the general opinion of Integy resivoir(spelling) shocks?
I have a set of progressive springs for the stock or Bigbores and I thought about just getting the RPM inserts to make it compress slower then it rebounds but it says I have to shave them a little to fit in the BigBores. Anyone try this?

many say the reservoir shocks by integy leak and don't function as actual reservoirs

Well that, and Ive heard one too many horror stories about integy products in general being inferior/garbage products because they arent made with the best materials, etc....

I've got Integy reservoir shocks, and at first I had problems with them leaking, but after making sure everthing was tight, I haven't had them leak at all since
