The original shocks are AMAZING on our TNX, those must be awesome on a Savage too. You can drop a truck with those from your head and it almost doesn't bottom out.

I just ordered the powerstrokes for my TNX to upgrade it.
Any way you can send me a copy of the diagram that comes with the TNX on how to install them, and what is needed as I got my TNX used and am just now upgrading the shocks.
I saw one of the PRO kits in the store and saw the upgrade sheet and bag of parts, and want to know what is needed.
My email is rcdave905@hotmail.com

Thanks in advance

Thanks Cyclops, but when I was at the hobby store they opened a TNX Pro kit for me, and on a seperate piece of paper and in a seperate bag, (othre than the powerstoke shock kit) was instructions and parts to hook the shocks up for the TNX. I couldn't bring myself to get them to let me open the instructions and copy them, I was pushing it enough just to get them to open a new kit for me to see what came with it.

i went to Tamaya web site and there was nothing there .... i'll bet if you used there support site they would email you them in PDF

There's not much to do, although sorry I don't have the pro kit sheet anymore. There's not much to do though, this is bacicly it:

1. Use a Dremel (preferably) with a sanding/grinding drum or a hobby knife to take a bit of material from the bottom shock mounting position. This allows for free movement of the shock.

2. Reuse the top screw that was on the TNX - you may need spacers for the top of the shock.

3. Use new bottom screws for mounting, I don't believe the TNX ones work. T-maxx ones may work or find a long screw that will work. They may be included, as they were with the TNX Pro.

I hope this helps, its pretty much what we did, although they gave us the screws and spacers for ours. The powerstrokes make a very noticable difference to the truck, especially on the track!
