[Havoc]

The shocks seem to be okay after I drained/refilled them with 40wt, added the stiffer springs to the rear (dark blue) and corrected some screw-ups from the previous owner. They are the stock 2008 shocks, not the big bores or whatever comes stock on 2009 model and honestly, they seem to work really well. I don't have a great deal of drive time on this truggy yet, so time will tell.

Yeah, Xray makes some of the best buggies/truggies I have seen. There seems to be some overkill elitist on their forum who do nothing but complain about an already great product. I wouldn't take everything they say to heart. When someone can tell the difference between 35wt and 36wt in a shock or the difference a 1mm spacer makes on the spring, they are too good for me :)

Give the stock shocks a shot. You can always blow the $100+ on big bores later.

I hate gluing tires as well. I was given 5 full sets of truggy wheels/tires already glued when I got the truggy off of ebay, so I am set. Too bad they are all white, I like black wheels!
