piggyback shocks

[bduce77]

I had a set of integy piggyback shocks about 4yrs ago, I'm thinking of getting a set of the msr8 heavy duty integy piggyback shocks for my t-maxx 4908. does any one have them and are they good? or do you know of a better shock set up?
Thanks ~Ben

I think for 60 bucks you can't beat the TRX big bores.

ANYTHING but Integy.

Sorry for thread jacking but what is a piggyback shock?

A piggy back shock has an external reservoir to hold extra fluid. Makes the shock operate cooler for longer.

I got these on a used tmaxx, useless.... I had to remove 2 due to stripped/blown
parts. The shafts seem straight... not worth the cash. There about good as stock one imo. On one of the shocks the piggyback oil reservoir was stripped at the top. Another had its seal blown completely out..They look good on your truck though.. I would guess they would hold up fine only if you didn't bash, but so will the stocks.

thanks for all of the advise.... I ended up getting the msr8 version of the integy piggyback compared to the origianle msr7's the 8's are supose to be much better.
Ill post some pics when I get them on and let you know how they hold up.
