shocks (stock vs piggies)

[maxxbash187]

so in my carnage last weekend i broke the little ilets off two of my shocks. i could replace just the caps but I'm thinking of just getting a whole new set so ill have back ups. the question is are the piggyback shocks really worth the 50 or so extra or should i stick with stock?

If by "piggies", your talking about integy shocks, then your better off using stock plastic ones.

However, the traxxas big bores are pretty much the best maxx shocks out there as long as you use some other springs.

I will say +1 with Olds. Integy shocks are crap...as 99% of thier parts are. You have 1:1000 chance of getting a good set of shocks from them. The TRX big bores are great shocks with the RC Raven dual rate springs. I have GH piggy back shocks on my Baja.... but GH is in a totally differnt league than Integy.

I gotta get me some of them springs.
The big bores are the best budget friendly option.
