Whats the Best Shocks to Run on T-maxx2.5 for track racing?

[Rotorxhead7]

hey whats up!!! I got the sterring under wraps i think but what shocks would you reccomend? or i should say whats a good racing shock!!

 

[Plaidfish]

(4) 1/8 scale rear buggy shocks....UE uses th eOFNA supershock but I preffer the 777 rear buggy shocks......if you have RPM arms & towers you may need 8 to keep the arm from twisting too much....

 

[RatzoRC]

Or Pro-line powerstroke shocks.

what the hell are RPM Arms and CVD?

why are thoes RPM Arms so good? i can see why the CVD's are a good idea with a bigger engine but how would the arms help?

 

[jstoeckel]

i believe the rpm a-rms are a little thicker than stock and its a little better material so they dont twist as much not to mention when you buy them brand new rpm puts a lifetime warranty on them against all damage..imo there better than aluminum because there not as expensive and because there gauranteed...

rpm arms are almost unbreakable ,and if you do break 1 which i have never seen they are 100% replaceable by rpm ,send it in and they will send you a new 1 for free ,as for shocks i never ran the buggy shock setup i ran the bigbores on mine and they worked perfectly for bashing and i also had trinity light blue springs on mine they held the maxx at just the right ride hieghth for bashing ,with no spacers needed

If you don't have the CVDs get the package on e-bay for 100 bucks w/ proline powerstrokes lunsford TI turnbuckles and CVDs...all for 113 bucks shipped......you can't get the shocks alone for that price.....the CVDs would cost another 50 bucks minimum....the Ti is another 20 bucks
search T-maxx CVD and sort by price.....you'll see it easily....

PlaidFish Thanks so much!!!! i think i found it and it looks like a great deal!!!

The CVD's remind me of my hpi street car, just so I'm clear the cvds replace the plastic driveshafts in the center front and rear?

 

[Plaidfish]

that kit will not have the center driveline....you can go w/ the RD logics set for the center.......they're a lil cheaper......If you can get teh MIP centers and you'll save in the long run....... but you really want MIP or UE going to the wheels, they end up taking more of the abuse.....
