cant vote on this one...the power strokes would be(IMO) to much money to bash with. if ur gonna be into racing the are the key to succes. with bashing u dont really need all the adjustments....then the big bores would do fine. I have the big bores and they work fine

The TNX uses a design that runs the shock THRU the upper suspension arm, in the same fashion as a t-maxx. You really think you will fit a GIANT LST shock thru there? If you were to run it up front, you would need incredibly loooong standoffs. They would be too long to be durable, and stand waaaay out. Run some powerstrokes.

If you knew the answer to the question, why did you ask?I run the powerstrokes but for bashing the big bores will be good enough.If you plan on doing any racing at all get the powerstrokes as they are just as good for bashing but far more superior for racing.
