Big bore shocks for e-maxx?
 

I'm really looking for some good big bore shocks for my e-maxx. and advice or specific ones i should look at?
Thanks!

Hey, you can look at these:

1/8 buggy/truggy front Shocks (the rears might be a little long)
Proline 'PowerStrokes' (you can still find them on ebay)
UE 'Supershocks' (again, you can look on ebay)

Have a look at this thread... What are the strongest E-Maxx shocks?... some good info here.

hope this helps

I would search for 1/8 Rear shocks from 8ights, RC8's....

+1 on 1/8 scale shocks

There better than TRX's anyday and can be found cheaper. I ran front 1/8 buggy Ofna shocks and was real happy with them and they were only 17.00 a pair on Fleabay.

Ok... Maybe I should have asked this first... What shock tower and suspension arm combination are you using? ... A few more things that will determine a good setup...
Will you be bashing, doing speed runs, racing or jumping the truck?...


Do you have pics of your suspension setup?



Here's an example of two truck with '1/8' shocks:

The truck on the left is running 4 Ofna 1/8 front shocks and the truck on the right is running 4 UE Supershocks (basically Ofna 1/8 rears)

It's ben a couple years since I had a Emaxx and I must have erased all my Emaxx pics. all I had was this of a BigBlock Tmaxx with 8 rear sportworks buggy shocks.
For bashing it was a great setup, these were the light springs and the shocks had 30 wt oil, suspension was very plush and jumped well for it being almost 16lbs.

If you can't find, or afford, UE Supershocks, Ofna Ravager rear buggy shocks are almost identical to them, and are perfect for Maxx trucks. If you want a set, I have a brand new set, just PM me if you are interested.

thanks everyone!

just bashing. and i've got a FLM shock tower in the rear, stock in the front, RPM true track conversion for the rear and RPM 3.3 arms in the front. pics:

Hmmmm... I'm thinking 1/8 rears might be a little difficult to setup with the stock towers... but the FLM towers will facilitate them well... Maybe you could try a funky combo -
'1/8 fronts to the front and 1/8 rears to the rear' (typically of a 1/8 buggy)... or just stick with fronts all around...

humm...i mite try that. not like that FLM tower couldn't be adjusted to fit a lot of differant lenth shocks with all those mounting holes. :yes:
time to serch around a little

You could always get another FLM shock tower... Then run all rears :smile:.

i was considdering that too. humm.....we shall see. i prob will get another couse i still have a decent amount of money left from christmas :)

Yep... you will see a big difference in performance...

:intello:i bet. already bought 4 new hyper 7 shocks and a new FLM tower

Nice! :yes:
