mp 7.5 shocks

[mattrc8]

is it worth upgrading to the big bores or shall i stick with the ones i have if so whats the best oil in the standerd ones ?

[karl jackson]

In one word YES.... 

 They dont have any probs with bladders spliting like the old ones and the oil last a very long time. I normal only change oil when i need to change the grade not because its gone off.  If you want to carry on with the small ones i will need to know what size piston and how many holes to be able to help with the weight of oil .  Hope this helps

yes that does thanks.
the pistons have a little slot in on side no holes.

If your looking at changing over to the big bores it is going to cost you around £105 that would include shocks, springs, oils and shock tower standoffs. you may need to look at getting the thinner cvd's for it too (about £30 a pair!) to make it all fit properly and I don't even know IF they will fit the 7.5.

For a car that retails for £199 it's a big additional investment. Personally I would look around for someone shifting a 777 with a set of big bores already installed. With the MP9 now out and about you would probably get a really good deal on a rolling chassis.

im not realy looking for a new car i am just starting to race my rc8 i was only finding out for my brother becouse he doesnt stop going on about big bore shocks, another question would mp777 or st-r shocks fit?

[AdamWild]

the 777 and st-rr use the same rear shocks but the fronts are different between the two cars. You would need the buggy ones. I would say get the Hong nor ones as they are about £50 for a full set and should fit perfectly.
