Thanks guys. The shocks are Mugen big bores and they are amazing shocks. I got the HPI low cg graphite tvp's and they seem really good and strong but I haven't seen any others so I can't really compare them to anything. Those pics were taken while I was building up the truck so it was still brand new. It's much dirtier now

Also, just curious what you guys use to clean your trucks. I have tried cleaning it with motor spray but it doesn't work too well. I have also tried WD40 and although it cleaned the truck well it left a terrible greasy residue which took ages to come off. Any ideas?

I clean with compressed air, paint brush and damp rag.

Simple Green, toothbrush, water, then compressed air. i've used WD40 before and it's not too bad if you use compressed air to blow off the majority of the residue. takes a ton of air though.

I just bought an E-Maxx and it's awesome. Very underated truck I think and easy to make even quicker. I got a whole bunch of upgrades ready to fit so I will post pics when it's complete. Let's just say it will be as cool as my Savage when it's done. Plenty of graphite and aluminium and only the best electronics

I no it sounds weird but i have tried lots and have found firing co2 from my air pistol is awesum! otherwise use a cleaning spray and a paintbrush.
