What are a good basher shock option other than Power Strokes? I am always on the lookout for them as I know they are the sh!t for the MGT's, but I have yet to find a set within my budget (trying to stay around $50-60). I am converting my race ready rig to a bash ready rig as they is what I see myself doing 99.9% of the time. I am running BigBores now but they just don't have enough ass since they are more of a 1/10 scale shock. Awesome on my old T-Maxx, not so on my MGT.

Also, what other upgrades are recommended for a basher? Keep in mind, when I bash, I bash hard with lots of jumps and climbing large dirt/gravel piles. I have RPM arms and would like to find a different option to the aluminum skids as they are getting chewed up badly on the gravel piles. Something with recessed screwholes would be perfect as I keep grinding/sheering off the screw heads that mound the skids and the steering upgrades so I loose steering all the time as the screws are failing from the abuse. BTW, I have a new screw kit on the way from Hexcrews so hopefully that will help some.

Also, I do not want to lock my diffs but would rather use super heavy oil. What weight would work closest to locking them? Thanks for any help.
 
$65 for the powerstrokes......hell yeah I'll take'em.























:jk:

I'll let ya know later this afternoon on the msr4's.
 
Actually, just got a set of Powerstrokes for $75 so I'll have to pass on the msr4's. Thanks though.
