I have noticed that my Nitro Sport has been a little saggy lately. I was looking on ebay and some other sites to see if i could find a new set of springs. I found a set of 8 T-Maxx Shocks and Springs. I won them for like 20 bucks and just got them today. I put them on and the back are the same from the T-Maxx and the Nitro Sport. The front a shorter on the Nitro Sport. I did put the T-Maxx ones on but it was too stiff and they were compressed too much. I then put the T-Maxx Springs on the Nitro Sport shocks. It is still compressed but it doesn't seem as still and they have more travel. I dont think they are going to work for the front but does anyone have some suggestions on what i should do? Here are some pics of the Stock and T-Maxx ones

well you could get some 1/10 scale stadium front shocks and that will fix your problem they are a little shorter then the tmaxx shocks and they are ment for a lighter car or truck.
 
I did manage to pick up a used Nitro Sport for 20 bucks and it had some nice front springs on it. I just changed the valving and oil in the stock shocks and it works real nice now. The T-Maxx stock shocks and springs work fine in the back so i will leave them.
 
I have been trying to found a shock longer then 100mm or 4". Anyone know where to find one or what RC uses a shock that long? 100mm was the longest I could find.
