Losi gold springs are a direct fit, part number LOSA5144. They fit my 2660 perfect using the lower spring cup and upper spring retainer that come with the shocks.



I also run the stock SCX10-II springs on mine, using the Axial lower spring cup (no need for upper spring retainer) they actually look and fit quite nice, and they help the shocks not look so “big”.

my stock ones are modified. i have a diaphragm upgrade done to it. and running 30W i think all the way around. its been a while. lol cant remember of the top of my head.

as for weight
i have the Brass Lower Shock Cups, Xtra-speed axles, aluminum knuckles. SSD i think. thinking of going brass now that they are out. and maybe adding brass link mount, and swapping out my links to stainless. to keep it low end heavy. i hear its not good to add rotational mass. i was thinking to run patties. but not sure yet. im getting the lower ready as i will be eventually putting on my JKU hard body on when i get around to building it.

thank you all for your response. i have my eyes on the 94mm traxxas. i do think that some extra length would do me wonders.
Can you please explain your diaphram upgrade including part numbers and pictures if possible?

They’re the same shock (only difference is shock body material) so it should.

I was in the same boat as you I ended up with the Traxxas Big Bores 2661

I got the adaptor to run the Losi mini t springs

I would recommend but not so scale looking though

They’re not Kings by any means, but their subtle look isn’t all that bad either. It’s worth it for the performance.

Total length or eye-to-eye?
