| Internal Springs, where to get them
Well i have taken all but a little weight out of my losi and now it is horrible side hilling, the rear is springing over. I'm running losi gold springs, softest spring i know of so 'm thinking going internal to get my softness and keeping my tires and links out of the springs. Where can i find internal springs with a similar or softer rate as the gold losi springs. I've been told to go down to the hardware store and get some but i'm not sure if those are the best choice

What kind of spring do I ask for if I went to Ace Hardware? Last time I went in and looked around but found nothing.

Sometimes you'll find them in the bins near the nuts and bolts if they aren't out in the open.

I really want to give internals a shot up front after my new servo horn and narrowed DH's get here and I can dial in all the steering that my rig has to offer. | |

| I dont think they were any softer than the gold,also they were smaller( like internal) springs. I didnt buy any, was just looking at them. They were all scattered in the drawers. If they restocked it would be a better selection. The ace is over by my house,on weston rd. You should check out the soft TCS internal springs. Call Richgarrett he might be able to show you the ones i sold him.

I use half a mechanical pencil spring. That and some 35wt oil. Just had to buy a few different pencils to get the correct diameter.
