What springs for old Blue Eagle, SRT, etc shocks?

Post by R6cowboy »

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 # 2458) are 18mm O.D.
Does anyone know of available springs which have an O.D. close to 16.5mm that would work with these old TRX shocks?

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.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.
