Good comparison chart for any one curious about spring rates! http://www.teamlosi.ru/techtips/spring_chart.htm Note I believe the golds are 1.4! |

Now if Only I could get some small springs that soft to fit on my big bores. Might be stuck running the long pinks to get 2.3. I guess we'll see how it does!

Running Losi's Whites on all four corners, she is a fat pig. 60 wt in the left rear and right front. 30 wt in the right rear and left front. Tried Losi gold springs and it was a little soft for my liking. Like I said, she is heavy. I have a dig unit and a full size dig servo in her, so she is not light. The Losi shocks will give you about 3" of clearance at the belly, and with some high clearance links, you will be very good to go. |

Is anyone running 3.5"? I am in need of some new shocks and can't decide. Thought I was gonna run 4" losi's, now I'm leaning towards big bores. May just have to get 2 sets and see how me likes em.

All the builds I've seen are 4" of your choice. You can try the 3.5... might just need less limiters? or they will just be plain ol to short!
