Just picked up an MP7.5 and was wondering what were the best shocks
for this buggy? I have a buddy that bought the Hodgson Piggyback
resevoir bodies. I was thinking about getting those or if there are a
whole set of Piggyback shocks that are better i might go that route.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've never heard of Hodgson, so I can't comment on those, but every set of piggybacks I've ever seen were for looks only. Some have a "functional" resevoir but the only thing it does is introduce another area where the shock can leak. I would spend money on big bore shocks. They will actually make a noticeable difference in performance.

Thanks for the heads up!

Any suggestions on a good brand? I'm very new to this sport so I don't
know what's good and what's not.

Thanks!

I've added a set of Hong Nor (Jammin) 16 mm big bore shocks on my MP7.5 Kanai II and other than a slight bit of rubbing on the axles they work great. The rubbing doesn't effect performance and can be lived with.

Are all 16mm big bore shocks the same? Are the Kyosho ones just
as good as the Jammin ones?

Sorry Shoni, I don't have an answer for you on that one[&o]....Any one else???
