ANODIZED ALUMINUM ULTRA SHOCK CAPS or big bore ?

[samintrepid]

I want upgrade the shock on my 3908 what is best, aluminium ultra shock caps 3767X or big bore ?

It's a bit useless to upgrade only the caps. The weak point of the stock 3908 shocks is the shaft which can bend easily. You can upgrade them : http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0095p?FVPROFIL=++&FVSEARCH=2656T&search=Go.

But if I were you I will upgrade the whole shock with Big Bore (I use them they are great) or 1/8-scale shocks (Ofna, AE, Jammin, UE...).

yeah but at ~$40 to upgrade just the 8 shafts + the cost of caps you might as well just get the big bores.

That's why I said "But if I were you I will upgrade the whole shock with Big Bore (I use them they are great) or 1/8-scale shocks (Ofna, AE, Jammin, UE...)."

yeah i know dude. just agreeing with you and emphasizing the point. I run UE shocks on my 2 supermaxx's and big bores on my other maxx and they're all great choices. My #1 choice is still UE though.

Get the big bores or 1/8th scale buggy shocks. like ofna rears and FLM shock towers.

I've have the big bores for over a two years on my non brushless E-maxx and would recommend them. I have bent a lot of the stock shafts but so far haven't bent one of the big bore ones.

Popoxx,

the Big Bore shocks you use on 3908 are these?
