Big bores on a hyper 7

[rich67]

Are big bores worth putting on a hyper 7? I have 13mm shocks at the mo but have bent a shaft (3.5mm) so was wondering if its worth upgrading. Have seen some hobao ones (not sure of size) on the bay for arond £30 front and rear, would these be a good buy? If not which other brands are worth looking at? Cheers

P.S. If I upgrade should I use a lighter or heavier oil than I am using in the 13mm ones?

If I replace the 3.5mm shaft (rear), I am not sure which one it is as I bought the buggy 2nd hand (hyper pbs) so does anyone know the length of the following parts?

H87369, this is described as a long shaft

H87126, this one is for a tq

Many thanks

Thanks for reply, have ordered some shafts to replace the bent one for now.
