Traxxas big bore with Mip golden shafts and NewEra aluminum shock ends

that is the best set up that you can buy if you waste money on integy all you will do is keep bending shafts

The Integy shocks aren't bad, I've got a set of them on my E-Maxx. I wouldn't suggest them for extreme use, but for average bashing, they hold up well.

Traxxas' Big Bores are very smooth, and strong. They're the best bang for your buck.

Pro-Line Powerstrokes are badass, but they're pricey, and they're overkill for most people. I've got a set of them on my MGT, and I'm buying a TNX Pro with them some day.

All in all, I'd suggest the Big Bores. The Powerstrokes are great, but I'd suggest spending the extra money elsewhere

There's been at leat 2 sellers on Ebay offereing the Power STrokes for less than $80 (plus S&H). I paid $109 for mine almost 10months ago, which I thought was a good deal. For only $15 0r 20 more than the big bores, I would go for the Powerstrokes.

Just to seal the deal here; The best shocks for a t-maxx are the powerstrokes. The bigbore's are good, but not as good.
