Do the AVID shock collar adapters only work with using threaded shock bodies, and not the smooth shock bodies?
Gold top and bottom loaders as well as hard anodized are very close to the same diameter as threaded ( not the 12mm big bore ) shocks.
Approximately 0.01" smaller for non threaded.
The only drawback on the collars is that they are held in place with a short set screw, potentially marring the shock body.
There are plastic/rubber tipped set screws ( 4-40 ) but there are not many threads in the collar.
I looked for these set screws but have yet to find appropriate ones.
Lavigna on his RC10 Composite Craft Pro build thread said he had found some of these set screws. "I'm using these cool rubber tipped grub screws so the shock body doesn't get scratched when tightened" https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=46609

I've been using the TLR22 big bores on my Gold Pan, I really like the way it feels. I just put the gold shocks back on so I can do some back to back testing. Last time I did back to back testing, it was a very hot outdoor blue groove track. Really...
OK, I'm wanting to build a gold pan and use short shocks all the way around (among other things I want to change)...I know I'll have to play havoc with springs and such, and I'm planning on making my own rear tower to facilitate it. I don't want to...

Kipps looks like they have a ton of options...that's exactly what I was looking for!
Email sent to them...gonna need a little more info about their stuff.
I would like to know what set of springs I can use on the TRX1 / Eagle LS shocks ?
Original spring set seems to be hard to find, or uncomplete.
Does Associated sets fits well ?
What's the good solution for rear and front ?

Great answer, very clear.
I think it is a good shock solution for racing back my eagle LS.
My actual shocks are eeven not teflon coated. Just a question of budget at the moment. Racing will be for summer 2014, and I still need some extra parts....
Hey all. I am looking for some black or white colored springs in 2 & 2.5 lengths that will fit Losi XX/XXX series shocks.
What other brands/models springs may be a good fit?
Thanks for your help!

They are a little bit larger than regular Associated springs, right?
If so, Traxxas Ultra shock (common plastic ones) springs should be close, maybe a touch larger. They are available in several colors as well as aftermarket options.
Looking for another set of springs that will fit old Traxxas Blue Eagle or SRT shocks. The two sets of springs I currently have on my SRT and my bro's Blue Eagle have an O.D. of 16.5mm. My old AE springs are 15.5mm O.D. and new Traxxas springs (part...

Older Losi springs, the larger size Tamiya CVA's, and maybe ECX (slightly larger than AE).
Alternatively, you could use a spring collar and different cups, allowing you to use larger springs.
Does anyone know what modern springs are available that will suit the silver top load shocks? Will the current Schumacher standard bore springs work? Looking for a compatible tuning set that's easily available. Thanks

I use Associated spring sets 1581 and 1582. The range is a bit on the soft side, but have a look at the rates and see if they might work for you.
