Default Need new springs, which ones.

Does anyone know of any springs that are softer than the t-maxx red springs. I have a tlt that I need a little softer spring on. Please only respond if you have something constructive to say. And I have searched.

Losi whites and losi yellows are nice and soft. I believe the whites are the softest springs on the market, and I do believe they fit traxxas cups.

You can get the whites but remember, were you mount the shocks on the chassis and on the axle/links will greatly change how a spring will act on you truck. There is a BIG differance between TRAXXAS reds and Losi whites

I have dark blue and dark green springs.

Softer than the reds, any idea where I might've picked these up?(came with the shocks, never asked the seller)

They're about 5mm shorter than stock maxx springs.

I have some of those also. I think they came from associated. I have both colors. They are the perfect stiffness for my crawler with my shock positions.

Are these the ones you have?

my associated shocks do not work with t-maxx springs, the t-maxx springs have larger diameter. I assume that means the other way around the associated springs wouldn't fit on t-maxx shocks because they are too small.
