RC10 springs?

Post by ThomasH »

I am looking for a selection of springs to try. Are these the correct springs for the stock works shocks?

Yup, those are all you'll need. General set up will be between green and silvers all around. On a smooth high-bite track with modern tires, blues may help if you experience traction-roll problems. Gold and reds are on the extreme side of hard springs for buggies, but hey you never know. Have fun testing :D

Bumping an old thread after I found this in the searches.

Will these springs work on my stock gold pan RC10 shocks (gold shocks)? The silver springs it has are causing the ass to sag a lot. :oops: I have 30w oil and the spring collar down pretty far and they are still pretty overmatched.

Those springs will definitely fit the rear. The fronts might be too long if you have the .56" shocks. If you have the longer front shocks, those will fit fine too.

How old are the silver springs you have now? They might have lost some of their tension if they are older.

I'm guessing they are original to the car.

The 550 can you now have in the back of that thing isn't helping matters. :wink:
The blue ones may work for you.
