Integy t-maxx shocks?

[mannysouza]

I just install some integy shocks on my axe. I like that they lowered the center of gravity ,but I wish that they were longer. Plus I'm not too fond of the resi's I don't think there needed in super slow crawling.
Could people let me know what the belly height of their Axe is. It just seems realy low. Here's a pict.

I don't have my truck handy to measure it but judgeing by the angles of your front/rear links we're running almost the exact same height. I'm running Traxxas Big Bores on mine and it's lower stance hasn't caused me any problems. I like the lower c.o.g. with the shorter shocks.

My belly cleanrace is very low too, but it works. I'm at about 2.75" clearance at the bottom.

That belly clearance looks pretty good really. It's going to be a compromise whatever you do. More belly clearance raises your CG and angles you upper links up. Your upper links are close to parallel with the ground and that helps fight torque twist.
I ran those shocks for years (still got em too), I like them because the reservoirs make it real easy to fill with oil and not get a bunch of air in them. They also have more travel than a standard Maxx shock because of the reservoir.
