Default Shock settings?

What hole do you have your shocks set at on your T-Maxx 2.5?

What spacers are you using on them?

What difference have you noticed by your settings?

Thanks,

Default RE: Shock settings?

I run my shocks in the middle hole up top and the second hole from the outside on bottom. I use the stock T Maxx shocks with MIP bodies and TiN coated shafts with 40W F and 45W R. Other than than that they are the stock traxxas shocks. I also use the plastic upper bushings with a long bolt and washer. I run Pro Line lower A arms up front with the rest of the arms stock. Keep in mind my maxx only weighs 6 lb and 9 oz so my setup may not work for you if your truck is much heavier than that. Almost forgot, I don't use any preload spacers.

Same here on hole location. Much less rolling. Turns on the gas much better too. Plus you can have stiffer shock AND keep your ride height low too.
