|  Black Springs...
I just built my 2.2 TLT... and am using Maxx shocks I like the Maxx Shocks, they're the perfect length for my rig... but I don't like the fact that the springs are RED... I want black springs... bad... Is there a set of springs from a different set of shocks that I could order? and that would work on the Maxx shocks... I don't care about spring rate or anything, I just want em black! I searched and looked on Tower, but I'm not sure dimension wise what I need... any help will be greatly appreciated... Thanks -Greg |

I thought about painting em... but I don't know that I could get em all even and perty... I might just try it, if I don't like it I can always order new springs... E Hills: got a,link, or part number, or a little better description? |

Springs for a Stampede will work, look on Tower or something.

| Paint them with the same paint that you'd use to paint the body. It'll flex with the spring and shouldn't chip off. Or, I use HPI MT springs on one of my rigs. They are softer than the stock Maxx shocks, and come in black. |

Pretty strange request, but here you go. Direct replacement for the red springs, these are stiffer though. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJG42&P=7 |

dip them in paint remover and spray on some WD40.

once again Grizzly comes through...  That's exactly what I was lookin for... I don't mind the fact that they're stiffer, I kinda wanted stiffer springs anyways... thanks for all the help y'all -Greg |
