You can get heavier springs for the prolime shocks.

This is easier said than done! I have been waiting over a month for these heavy springs, which keep getting back ordered from Proline. In theory, these are available and a nice option for the heavier trucks.

Glad you got mine in time though... ;)

RC-Monster Mike · 07.30.2005, 10:36 AM

Well, I got half of them in time, as I recall! I had to send the other set seperately!

well after reading all of this i think i am going to go with the ue racer x shocks on my emaxx.any set up suggestions?thanks

How heavy is your truck? I use 4 shocks on a 9 pound e-maxx, with 100 weight oil and the red springs. Works very well.

I just did'n't want to bring it up Mike....

Those UE's are topnotch

i ran my heavy savage (14 lbs+) with those UE's with 90wt oil.. and the black and blue springs. (4 shocks only)

I agree, the UE shocks are excellent. I use a heavier oil with softer springs, but either way, the shocks just plain work!

I run ue shocks on my gmaxx red springs in fr 60w oil, & blue springs rr 60 oil works great. I also run ue shocks on my racebomb i use the same setup as my gmaxx .

Does the UEs come with different spring or does the stock type springs work? I think that is what i going to order up. I think i going to shoot for the 8 shock set up.

what about power strokes or ue racer x?

Yes the springs come with the shocks. You get 2 black , 2 blue, 2 red, 2 white, black being the stiffest & white being the softest & 4 shocks. I also hear alot of good things about the proline power stroke shocks, that mike sells
