Do yourself a favor if you would like, When you get the maxx, You could take off all (8) of the stock shocks, Go on ebay, And try to find OFNA 1/8 Scale buggy shocks, Just (4). They will last alot longer, And they are pretty much a must for bashing I think, They really dont break on a maxx, Unless you knock them the right way of course. Thats my opinion on it. BUT, Make sure they have whats called threaded bodies. It has threads going down the shock case to let you twist the top to adjust the spring level. Later.
