should I get? I am gonna get an SW2 chassis, and am looking at tower for shocks, is there anywhere else that I should be looking for shocks?

so far the ones that looked interesting, are:

1) integy super duty msr5 shocks(maxx)
2) INTEGY MSR4 W/piggyback(maxx)
3)powerline aluminum shocks(blue, maxx monster)
4) traxxas big bore t maxx
5) hot bodies full thread, (maxx)


and then there are the springs... how about the integy progressive spring set(40Pieces)?
 
I would choose big bores as well from the list your selected.

I however use unlimited engineering (UE) supershocks and they work awesome. Plus they are threaded so I can adjust them fairly easily.
 
I'm a big fan of threaded shocks myself, I know that they were not on the list, but I really like Team Losi shocks, because they only have seals on one end. The other end is closed, so you have less places for the shock to leak.

any particular reason? how long were those?
They are 4" long. I also use just the plastic Traxxas shocks. Doug had a link for some threaded aluminum ones that were like $18 a pair from Tower, but I can't remember which ones they were. I'll ask him at the comp.

okay so after going to the february comp, I was wondering about shocks with heims at each end, I know that CRASH's has them, but I dont want 5" shocks, are the losi ones equipped with heims at each end, or should I not worry about the flex and just learn how to drive as is?
