T-Maxx Shock Rebuild??

[crash14me2]

Does anyone have any links to a (stock) shock rebuild for the T-Maxx ? Thanks in advance.

Shock rebuild what? Directions, or parts?

If you are going to rebuild Maxx shocks just ask your LHS for O-rings and the RPM dual stage pistons for the maxx.....your shocks will respond way better w/ em and I think it's actually cheaper than buying th etraxxass stuff

Actually directions. Also wanted to know what setup (springs and oil weight) would be best just for bashing. Thanks guy's.

As far as springs and oil, I use Trinity blue springs on all 8 shocks, with 50 wt oil. I also use RPM dual stage pistons, those help out handling tremendously!

For instructions did you try www.rcdocuments.com ? Good chance it's there. If not you can go to Traxxas web site, they have it in pdf format.

Well I ordered the dual stage RPM pistons and it looks like they come with 3-4 different color pistons. Guess I will go with the middle for the initial setup and see how things work. Thanks for the info.

each bag has enough to do one end of the truck w/ 3 different options.....there's 2 tyes of bags, one has the soft-med sets and the other has the Med to hard sets.....I'd get the Med-hard (or heavy/stiff whatever they call it) and use the med in front and the between heavy and med in back.....and NC is on the same oil and springs I'd use except the rear springs.....trinity makes a cool dual spring kit...use the lighter springs in that kit if you use it.....I run those in the rear and the softer springs in front.......but all that aside if you are seriously bashing your T-maxx I'd recommend some upgrades and shock would be close to top of the list.....
