I'm not selling my old equipment. LOL I have more suspension combinations than I should tell. Here it goes. Ultrashocks, Big Bores, 8Supershocks, 8 Power Strokes, and now 4 16mm Vorza buggy shocks. FLM towers, Traxxas towers, Knuckle heads, Duh towers. So the all of this only takes 30 mins to put on in a combination. I hope the Vorza shocks will perform on the normal track, as well as alittle jumping, like you'd see on a track with down ramps all that. If I want to perform back flips or anything like that the Powerstrokes should do in the top hole on the duh towers.

Good news! I humbly submit that my truck looks soo awesome with the duh towers on it. lol It looks more and more like a truggy. Just like I had hoped my UE knuckleheads and my new Duh towers have two holes in common. Both of which allow the truck to bottom out safely without blowing my Power Strokes while using the bottom hole on the arm the truck is really set up well to bash and perform well, especially since it is so LCG anyway set up like a truggy. But the Buggy shocks on their way right at 100 should do perfect so long as they provide enough travel. I don't expect to be able to run my 40 series tires with the shocks. It wouldn't work and would damage the shocks. I'll post pics when I get the Vorza shocks.

Thanks zipperbasher. I like what you've done with your truck? You've got your batteries under the FLM chassis right? I had good success with that myself for a while. Never damaged the packs. I think I learned it from Serum.

Yes sir, Underneath the chassis. With a very simple skid plate. Working well for over a year now. I really like what you have going on though. typical truggy layout. Thats probably where my maxx will end up in a couple years... or at least ditch the trans and get the motor down lower. I just took some shots of my skidplate and will add them to my thread later tonight if you want to see it.

I like the idea of those short towers as well... I bet you can really slam the body down low. I hate when I have the body as low as possible and there is a gap between chassis plate and bottom of the body...
