Default Losi springs, what are they originally for??

Ok I bought some white losi springs for my sw2. Im running stock 2.5 maxx shocks. The springs were for a MLST2 which I suppose is the mini lst. I didnt look to see what they fit before I picked them up. They are a little smaller diameter and lots shorter. I got the wrong ones didnt I? What do the ones everybody uses fit on?

Part # LOSA5147?

That's the part number you want. They are actually buggy springs. You can use preload spacers to make up for the shorter height, or pick-up some cheap threaded bodied shocks. The diameter is a little smaller, but they should still work.

That part number is for the white Losi springs. The pinks should be stiffer. The only Losi spring I know of, that is softer then the whites, is the greys.

If you're using the t-maxx shocks, the 2.75" are the ones you want. I have the LOSA5147 2.75" wht. and they're perfect on my sw2.

I've got a pair of grays and whites on my TLT, seems to be the perfect spring rate.
