Traxxas "Big Bore" shocks work well, all 8 for about $65.

My main concern would be diffs and tranny gears, that power will rip through them in no time.

Thanks for sharing your G-Maxx. I love me some Maxx trucks!
18/66 - on 3s it's 23 mph and 4s is 31 mph...very conservative just because I don't want to kill the MMpro or the diff/trans until I can afford to upgrade! Without lipos in, it weighs 9.5 lbs...seems light compared to my Savage that weighs in at 13.5 lbs. w/o lipos!

Nice Maxx dude. They sure are my favorite RC. I think once I found the EMaxx trucks when they first came out I have not let go of my fondness for them ever since. My first really nice big durable RC it was and that just got me hooked.

Lots of GMaxx builds around lately. Love it!

Robin just said on the UE forum last week that a new run of Monoblocks is coming so keep checking the store daily. If he announces it on the site I will post up over here and let everyone know.
Sweet, hopefully the timing will be right and I can snag one.

If your interested in buying them from me let me know. I only run the powerstrokes on my Gorillamaxx trucks so I don't need them. Justin
Sounds nice, but I'm afraid to know what they would cost at this point. I'll think about it and let you know though, thanks!

I have done nothing with the trans, just slapped some duct tape to keep the shifting shaft that sticks out to keep it in second for a little test run. I'm still undecided on what route to go there...Lots of great info on this site though for different options. So far in all honesty the RCMonster center diff mount looks the easiest and most tuneable and probably most durable as well. I'm not the best at custom fab stuff so I'll have to think about how hard that would be to install.
