Any one have experience with these shocks? Hear good or bad things? Anyone have the big bores? Good or bad?
 
year i have the hot bodies shocks on the buggy they are good very strong and dont bend like most shocks;);)
 
I've had them. The rod ends are puny and weak. They are better than other popular shocks *coughintegycough* but IMO Traxxas Big Bores are better. That's what I run now and I recommend them to anybody with a Maxx.

+1 on all of that!

I had the HB maxx shocks and they weren't very good. Prone to leakage and prone to having the e-clip holding the piston on the shaft getting ripped off.
 
Traxxas Big Bores all the way, just order a set of stiffer springs with them, the stock red springs that come with them are pretty soft..
