Supermaxx shocks
 

Hi

Does anyone have any experience with only 4 Supermaxx shocks on your E-maxx? How does they work compared to the 8 original shocks?

I can see both pros and cons against upgrading to 4 or 8 Supermaxx shocks.

Pros for 4 shocks.
Cheaper
Less weight

Cons on 4 shocks.
Maybe performance???

Hope anyone with experience on these or other shocks can help.

i would recommend the proline powerstrokes over the ue. you can run 4 and it need be (for what ever, jumping a house, ect.), you can put the bypass' on there. i had them and they are they best shock i have ever seen. the quality is unsurpased.

powerstrokes are obselete squee, so that makes them less interesting.

The choice for 4 or 8 depends on the total weight of your truck.

4 ue shocks are superiour to 8 stock shocks.

obsolete? please elaborate?

He mean's since they are discontinued, they aren't as atractive as their used to be. Just like the proline servo saver.

You might be able to get a set on ebay. But if your not going to be jumping your house, get the ue racer x shock's. They are the best.

why did they discontinue them? also, imho the powerstrokes are the best but thats just me.

If you really really really really want them.

Hi

Thanks for your answers. I actually wanted to buy the Powerstrokes, but as you say they are discontinued, so I am now going for other brands.

Those are tweaked for the Tamiya TNX

No idea why. Just like the servo saver, great part, many people used it.

LIke serum say the 4 ue are much better than the 8 stockers. I use four and eight. Both are great. If you get the 4 and are not sure if you like the performance you can get 4 more to go on. That is the thing i like.

Powerstrokes are still available to buy on Proline's website. Don't appear to be discontinued?

yeah were did you here that they are discontinued.

huh that doesnt make sense that tower hobbies says they are discontinued and proline says they are still being made

Sorry for the late response boss but a closer look at Tower's link shows the SET OF 8 is discontinued. I was looking for a set about the same time as they went away. Prolines page is a pair (2) FOR 68 BUCKS. So what would 8 cost from Proline? The last set of 8 I saw was at Hobbie Town and they were asking $145.00 and I said NO!
Anyway I'm glad I come back to the forum every now and then 'cause it was good to learn that 4 ue shocks are as good as 8 stockers. I DO bash my E-Maxx, but from what I read here, I don't BASH like you guys! lol

Thanks ALL you guys.

found this last night, dont look to be discontinued here.....

If you click on 'add to cart' they come up as out of stock. Think the only place to get powerstrokes is ebay.
