Flux Big Bores vs Stock

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

Is there that big of a difference between the two? I like the look of the big bores but is the improvement worth the 30 bucks? I like stockers because they are cheap as dirt and never really had a problem but what do you guys think that have the big bores?

i personally like my flux bigbores. huge handling gain over 8 stock shocks. i have never had any probs with them other then mounting bolts bending

I really like them. I have a set of the FLUX plastic bodies BB's and a set of the Aluminum BB's. They are much better than stock. None of mine leak yet, they stockers leak like crazy all the time making a huge mess. The Aluminum bodied ones are a slight bit smoother but is hard to tell. I have different oils between my sets. They are lighter and better than stock. Probably just as good or better than the LST/LST2 shocks and a heck of a lot lighter.

i have alum BB's on my nitro and Flux bores on the flux.. i will say the alum bb's are alot smoother than the flux bores.. other than that id say they preform almost the same but BOTH do the job.

I run the Alum ones and love them. I have run the stock plastic ones and the adjustable alum ones and the Big bores out proform them both.

Plus it makes other mods a lot easier only having one shock on each arm.

I'm glad this thread came up cuz i have been thinking of buying a set of flux bb's for my x but didnt know how much difference there was between them and the alum bb's..
