I realized I completely neglected to mention that this car came with most of the proper makings of a Team Losi Hydra-Drive (sans the HD itself) today I managed to pick one up for it.
Here’s what pieces are present as of now.

You won't use the round plastic spring cup to the left of the spring in your pic. You do need the smaller one (LOSA 3124) that goes on the end of the small spring (only use 1 of course) with the nut topping it off. Not sure if a plain washer would suffice since there is nothing to keep the spring centered otherwise.

Luckily a buddy of mine had some HD pieces I was able to get off of him.

And finally I feel better about the front springs

10T silver fronts are pretty close, especially if you use the early spring cups and later style upper locators. That is what I used on my Graphite with 1.02 fronts.

Oh ok cool, great to know

Are you wrenching on this one still? My interest is piqued.

I wish I was, but unfortunately it still is as last seen. Currently living vicariously through your beautiful build

Many thanks. Send me your build, with a blank check, and I can finish it for you.

Btw probably the only description I’ve ever seen of the springs short of medium and soft.
