Thats all. I need a new set of shocks should I just get a new set of stock shocks or should I invest in some newones? in I should get new ones what ones should I get :dance:
 
While I have not upgraded my shocks, seems they are a tad bit harder for me to break than T-Maxx shocks, if you are replacing them it's smart to invest in a set of upgrade shocks if you have to replace your stock shocks.
 
Although there have been a number of complaints about the Hot Bodies shocks, I happen to think they are just fine. I have the threaded version, but I know they make a non-threaded version.

They run about $100 and come pre-assembled. So far they have served me well.

New Era Models sells a set of upper A-Arms that allow you to use T-Maxx style shocks. This means for a bit extra, you can run any flavor of upgraded T-Maxx shocks also.

Before any of you other knuckleheads jump in and winge about suspension travel, the upper A-Arm mounting of the T-Maxx shock does not limit the travel...they were designed for parts commonality and the throw is the same or damn close to it.
 
It actually reduces your travel by .050mm Sky! Thats a lot! Stop misleading us! lol

Just kidding man. I have no idea what the difference is. I do however like the fact that I could go out and buy a set of Losi or AE shocks though! *thinking*
