Hi there. I got myself a TNX. I gotta say that the best you can get for the money are the traxxas big bores shocks. Get some trinity xtra-hard springs to go with.

you can get them on tower hobbies for about 60$ (shocks) and 10-12$ for the springs.

The big bores comes with red springs, wich are too soft. That is why i recommend to put trinity x-tra hard springs.

My setup is currently 4 red springs and 4 blue trinity x-tra hard (1 red- 1 blue per wheel) I kept the stock oil.

If you want your truck to be stiffer and make large jumps, go for 8 blue springs
