nothing too heavy or the shock caps will pop off coming off bigger jumps (like when you jump 3ft up off the tabletops)
I would say around 40wt to start. When I had 50wt in my stock maxx shock I would blow caps.

I know someone selling (4) Integy piggybacks for $15. They aren't that great of shocks but way better than stock. When Im started racing I ran them on my maxx (4-shock setup)

tex who is selling the shocks I may be interested in that for my maxx...will it work with an original maxx not the 2.5 and will it give it a lower ride height, it seems like i had to baby it through the turns so it wouldnt roll would a 4 shock set up help that?

yep it'll fit the older maxx and it'll lower the ride height also.
