Need Shock info

[Hamill07]

I'm a bit short on cash at the moment and my t maxx needs news shocks I've found a nice pair of alloy ones for the hpi savage quite cheap does if any know if the will fit the t maxx ?

Shocks for a Savage are longer than those on a Maxx.

You could use them, but you will need to put some fuel tubing inside on the shafts to act as limiters so the shock doesn't fully extend.

do you think they would be any good on it thow ? would you do it if was your truck ?

 

[newviennajj]

absolutely.then let us other tmaxx guys know how it worked out.

Savage shocks are way to big for a tmax you would have to make a coustem shock tower to run them for decent performence.

No. And No.

Savage shocks are much longer than maxx shocks. The shocks will bottom out really early in the upstroke so you will have almost no arm travel.

They're saying that a bunch of stuff breaks with alloy rims, they weigh more and things like that, rpm rims are the way to go it seems from what I've seen.

When you think about it.... the tires get the full brunt of each landing. the suspension can't do anything for the tires. Strong is good but the lighter the better
