Alternative springs for Losi XX series shocks

Quote

Post by Lavigna » Wed Mar 29, 2023 11:12 pm

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.

ECX springs are also a little bit larger than AE springs, but smaller than Traxxas. I have some black ones but I'm not aware of other colors.

Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

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...

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....

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...

Last post

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

Daniel

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.

I've been wanting to run big bore springs on my JRX Pro for a while due to the variety of spring rates available. I've got tons of big bore springs and this way is far cheaper than converting the car to big bore shocks. I modeled these up and am...

I've completed a model tree for the big bore spring adapters for standard bore Losi shocks. It has a set of 4 of each part. There are 4 collars, for those who have the smooth bodies. There are 4 bottoms, for all shocks. Finally, there are 4 rings....
