The Associated MGT shocks are good. The Traxxas big bore shocks are good. The best shocks are the Proline powerstrokes.

So you want shocks roughly maxx size, but with larger 3.5 mm shafts? You will probably end up with some UE shocks, or some other 8th scale shocks for the front of a buggy. You could also look into some Integy. I believe they make some 3.5mm shaft shocks for the Savage, and maybe the Maxx too.

Ya, check these out. This is an Integy MSR5 set, with resrvoirs. They are the 3.5mm shafts. Look really nice too.

look at 1/6 fg mt shocks bigger than 1/8 scale or make your own custom shock like I did real cheap if you have the right tools.

The FG stock MT shocks aren't the highest of quality. What are nice buggy shocks, with large shafts? Don't really have a budget, but nothing unreasonable.
