I'm running a set of 8 Ofna 9.5 front shocks with the stock Ofna springs and oil. They are light years better than the Traxxas shocks and essentially the same thing that UE sells in sets of 4 for $72. I've had my set of 8 for about 3 years. They can take some serious abuse and big hits. I swapped them off my old e-maxx on to my new 3905 and not one needed a rebuild. Here is a link to a pair. They are on ebay all the time pretty cheap. Be sure to get the upper bushings with them.
