What shocks for 1st generation T-Maxx
I recently bought a 1st generation T-Maxx. I've been running it alot at a local RC track. It bottoms out when landing from most of the jumps and I think I need better shocks/springs. It now has 6 original shocks with 40 wt oil and 2 duramax shocks with 40 wt oil. I want to know what other guys are happy with. Are the piggybacks the best way to go? What about the Traxxas Big Bore? What springs should I use? I get about 4 foot air on the largest jumps. Thanks in advance.

What shocks for 1st generation T-Maxx
I replace the stock shocks on my t-maxx with Traxxas Big Bore shocks and used 80 weight shock oil. I also changed the springs on the big bores with trinity xxheavy springs. They work great for me and the truck comes back up when you push down on it. If you do decide to get big bores stormer hobbies sells them for $63.00 the cheapest i have seen.
