What are the strongest E-Maxx shocks?

[mkrusedc]

Sorry I did not label that pic. Those are BigBores and PowerStrokes.

8ight rear/powerstroke bypass/8ight front



best I could do unless Mark wants to sell me his powerstrokes

[mkrusedc]

Actually those are old pics. I sold 4 coil over PowerStrokes with a full set of springs to a guy in the traxxas forum.

Notnodak in case you did not know the PowerStrokes have been discontinued. Replacment parts are hard to find.

It looks like the losi 8 front shocks are too short. How does it affect the truck? Anyone with a pic of good shocks an a E-Maxx?

Check out the pics in my Gmaxx thread near the end- picks of a 4 shock & 8 shock setup with the Losi fronts. They are fine for the Gorilla suspension, but the rears would be better for normal maxx suspension.

PowerStrokes:



UE SuperShocks

the rears are too long for my liking, about 10mm longer than big bores, I like level suspension arms, I had to use the Integy(yeah) adjustable towers to get the right height to handle well where i drive. Good thing is for big air contests with the nitro guys I just unscrew the 4 screws and slide the tower down and have massive suspension travel. But Id go for the fronts if I had it to do over.

I'll be looking for a set of frony losi8 shocks then or some other front buggy bigbore shock.

Can someone check if LST shocks will fit without the springs on. Also does anyone have the rear buggy shocks on their E-Maxx? Pics if anyone has them

I over think things sometimes and I'm still considering things.

Those arms are on a maxx they are made by FlexTek LINKY

Jammin' X1 CRT's shocks are strong! I would Buggy/Truggy Shocks with Aluminum caps and Mediumish springs. IMO

I'd probably say fronts would be better for stock type suspension- same length more or less as standard maxx shocks- the rears are a little long..
