What shocks for a heavy monster truck?
 

My truck weighs 10 pounds with the batteries and the stock shocks simply can not hold it up even with spacers on them if i try to run it..........it will bottom out! After i add more battery cells it will be even heavier. Everything is heavy duty aluminum.

Proline powerstrokes!

I got this UE shocks, (and the powerstroke) and it will bottom out pretty easy with the UE's. The powerstrokes are superiour shocks.

THANK YOU! i've been saying that for months now and everybody still says the ue's are better! serum is right, the powerstrokes are better. especially for a heavier truck.

Don't get me wrong, UE's are topnotch.

This was about the bottoming out thing.

But i really love the powerstrokes! (they are just a tad heavier than i would have liked..)

LOL, i smell your enthusiasm Squee... :p

Too bad Proline has discontinued them :012:

Yeah, i figured something like that....

All ebay auctions are gone..

I'm really regretting I didn't get a set when they were only $79.99 on ebay. Guess It'll have to settle for a set of 4 ue shocks....:rolleyes:

I have a set of the ue and like them. You double up on the ue and it is like a cloud ride rc. How can you compare 4 shocks to 8 of the proline. I think that is wrong. That is like comparing a 8s to a 8xl.

Racer X shock's bottoming out? Need some adjusting i'd say.

But it is true that the powerstroke's are build for jumping, thus can carry heavier truck's. Both are the best of the best in handeling and smoothness.

Why on earth is proline discontinue'ing part's that are a huge succes and keep producing product's which nobody want's....:032:

I quite agree sneeck. And chc, 8 ue shocks = big $$$. 4 will would probably be enough for my truck anyway

It's your choice, I run 8 since I don't like the gap you get from running 4 shock's. Plus I think it look's like a true monstertruck, agresive.

But you are right, 4 will do fine, even for a heavy truck.

I use these on my Maxx, it weighs almost 15lbs. J/k:005:

Now those are hevy dudy......:027:

sneeck, 100wt oil and blue and black springs.... turned up till half way on the body..

I know how to tune shocks buddy..

That was with 4 right rene. If you put 4 more on it Would it do the same.
