Madd Maxx

Hello everyone, I'm trying to find a guide that will tell me what strength the colors mean on the shock springs. I have a Tmaxx that is 95% aluminum and titanium and has gained a little weight recently. I need to stiffen the rear a little because of the weight gain and not sure what springs to use. Im running piggybacks with blue springs but it seems a little soft. Thanks for any help...

Look at HPI PURPLE
Ones. I needed stiffer prings,too.All 8. I run 50 wt. oil.80 is too much.
Look at the sizes and extended length of the springs. The rate is a lot more than the stock Traxxas springs.

I went a little different with mine. I run 4 Lunsford titanium monster springs on the corner shocks and 4 Associated MGT coppers on the inside ones. I'm using 40 weight front and 45 weight rear in stock plastic shocks. I do still need some preload, but the truck sits perfectly level now and the shocks work very well. The MGT springs are a bit longer than the stock Maxx springs but they are the same diameter. Associated has a pretty wide range of springs for the MGT. The coppers are the hardest, blue are the lightest IIRC. They're a good option, $7 a set too.

They were not available when I needed stiffer springs 8 years ago.

Is what I used.

I'm sorry! I forgot that I'm running Associated shocks!!!!!
They are 12 mm body diameter.
I MUST have cut them down 'cause they are 4.6" overall length!HPI Savage.
My stock Traxxas shocks are long gone.

Yup those are the same ones I run, but I only run 4 of them with the Lunsfords as well. The coppers fit the stock shocks just fine. I too ran into the same issue after putting a big block in my T Maxx. It suddenly became 15+ lb. and sagged badly! Are you running the MGT shocks? I was thinking of trying the stock MGT shocks because they are a bit longer and I've heard they work decently in a Maxx.

VGR springs are very stiff. All colors have the same spring rate.

Integy?
1.2 mm diameter wire. No spring rate.

Put some 14mm sedan springs on top,maybe.
Associated coppers are 15 mm ID

I think Integy might have a whole set of T Maxx springs you can get, like 4 sets with different rates in one bag. I looked at them before going with my current combo. They look like a good option if you don't know what rate you want. Those VGR ones look good, too.

I run the black on the front blue on the rear 4 shock setup with HOBAO (#87391) shocks on an all alloy Maxx.

Or you could go with RC Raven progressive on a 8 shock setup
