I just put Integy MSR5 shocks on my t-maxx. I have been bashing alot and don't think the springs that are on them are stiff enough. So which springs do you guys suggest RC Raven Dual Rate or Trinity Black springs.
When I go bashing I average 10 feet of air when I jump. Any other spring suggestions are welcome.

Thanks
 
go with the Trinity black with those and 50wt oil I could do 8ft jumps and not bottom out and you could go with 8 black springs instead of 4 like I had
 
Thanks for the sugesstions guys. How do the blacks springs handle at high speeds, and on small bumps.
 
I'm looking at getting new springs also cause i was just out jumping like 15 feet on pavement at a skate park and need something that will land that and not bottom out. also, if i change my springs should i change out the stock shocks too or just the oil in them?
 
the black springs handle nicly ot high speeds but a a bit rough on small bumps at high speeds but managable.

I would suggest Proline Powerstroke shocks would also be good for offroading.

kpaver For 15 foot jumps I would go with UE shocks. You will have to use thick oil and the stock shocks wont last long. 4 of them will do cause they are about $60 for a set of 4. but well worth it
 
I actually run a combo of dual rates, & trinity blacks on my .21 Maxx. One of each, on each corner of the truck. Works great..
 
You will need to find a balance that works well for you.
You are going to have to make a sacrifices. If your taking big air you will need to give up an amount of performance on the small bumps.

Dual rate springs and dual stage pistons may do it for you.
