The extension makes it more predictable in on-power corners..

I want to stick to MIP because of my store discount. I just don't know which ones will work with the wider arms. I think I am going to try this for the shocks.
Shock Set-up



Set-up: Front Shocks

Note: Both the inboard and outboard shocks are set-up the same internally. Use the outboard shocks to quickly change shock oil for different track conditions.

Dampers: Traxxas Big Bore w/ Ti. Nitride shock shafts

Pistons: 2-hole (all-around)

Oil:

inboard - Team Associated 40wt.

outboard - Team Associated 50wt.

Springs:

inboard - Team Losi 1/10-scale truck rear blue(firm)

outboard - Kyosho 1/8-scale buggy front white(firm)

Travel Limiters: no limiters

Length: 110mm (top of cap to bottom of rod end)

Location: Upper ñ A (middle) Lower - #3 (3rd from inside)


Set-up: Rear Shocks

I'm using 4 bigbores on my lightweight maxx with 65 wt oil rear and 45 wt front and the purple RPM pistons in them. I will put a tad thicker oil in the front ones. it's not bumpy, but it reacts a bit too much when i apply full brakes on 14 cells. (the RPM pistons work miracles, they really do)

the angle of the shocks is also very important.

I'm using them with red UE springs in the rear and white UE springs in the front..

BTW; your setup is from the T-maxx, i would not use it. You really don't need to use two different types of oil on 1 arm. that's rubbish.

I will start with the big bores. But the drive shafts still pose a problem. What MIPs will work with the wide arms?

Yes, the MIP1525's will work well.

They are long enough?

Like i said; Yes, the MIP1525's will work well.

if they where too short, i would have said something like; no, they are too short.. :p

:005:

thanks.

Anytime!

Just to hijack for minute here. I had as set of big bores, but the E maxx springs were too wide for them, are there sets for the T maxx and the E maxx?
thanks, sorry for the jack!

Springs are the same for the T-maxx and the E-Maxx. I've owned both and they were freely interchangeable.

I have a set of big bores that came with narrower springs and they were not as tight as the e springs. The Emaxx fit, but they were too wide in diameter! Trust me!

I don't doubt you. I've heard that the big bores were different.

Trinity HD Blue springs fit well and have a nice rate for the Emaxx.
