  1. Bashing
So when I'm just out bashing I do allot of jumps, nearly everytime the truck comes down it bottoms out. What springs would be a good upgrade?
 
I just got some big bore shocks with adjusting nuts for the springs they work great and you can set um up anyway you like hard or soft it will stop crashing down after jumps and you can make um soft for racing for better handling in my book a great deal.
 
What adjusting nuts are you using??? Or are you just talking about the spacers that come with the Big Bores?
 
No, the shocks I got are adjustable simply by turning a nut on top of the spring the shock body is threaded thr the best thing I did to my truck
 
You can put fuel line on the shock shaft to stiffen the shocks or you can look on eBay for adjustable t max shocks I got mine for 50$ for all 8 and I'm very happy they work great eBay has a ton of then listed you can spend upwards of 100$ but the 50 or 60 $ ones work good you can get them in aluminum silver or any color you want shocks and springs.
 
I looked at those too. So no problems with leaks or anything? They do look super nice and tough too.
 
I've used them on two different trucks never had a problem and they have different colors if you like good luck with your upgrade let me know how you like them
 
Sorry, was just wondering if those would have been any good (for future reference). I have already bought and installed a set of Traxxas Big Bores for my Tmaxx....I love these shocks! I kept going back to those ones that you have on ebay, and thinking that they would look really nice. Thanks for the info on yours anyways!
 
The shocks on ebay aren't mine I bought the same ones for my t max and rustle and thr great I love um and they look good on the rig.
 
I just installed another spacer on all the shocks while installing my new shock socks. If this dosent do the trick those will be next.
