| Shocks and springs
I see that a lot of people are running team losi white spring but t he owner of the lhs has no clue what they are. Can anyone give me a part number for them and I'd also like to know what type of shocks people are running on there tlt? I'm in the process of building it know and don't know what type or size to use.I'm using the stock chassi with a team losi jr 2 locked trannie. The wheel base should be around 13 to 14 inches if I can ever finish it. The shock and spring are a big problem because I can't seem to find anything in the search forumon this issue. Granted there is a lot of stuff in the search for shocks but not what I'm looking for.Can anyone please help me with this?

The part number for the Losi whites is LOSA 5147. Most people just run 4" replacement shocks for the Maxx trucks on the TLT.

losi springs . hardest to softest here it goes Blue , Red , Orange , Yellow , White . (feel free to correct if im wrong , but be gentle) Buy em' all and try different set ups , but usually stiffer in the rear (torque-twist). I like to set mine up so the front flexes first before the rear. try reds in the rear as a starting point (depending on the angle of the shock) .blue is almost too much. hope this helps . good luck. |

well you forgot grey (not sure if still made or not) but they are either before or after the whites, and pinks which are down there somewhere too

Well I get the springs now. I ordered the white springs yesterday at the lhs but I really need a part number or type of truck to buy shocks from. I know you said maxx trucks but what type of maxx. Are you talking about the big bore ones or just the standard shock. Please help I'm 90% done and would love to finish it.

Any 4" long shock made for the Maxx trucks will work, big bores or aftermarket. I prefer threaded aluminum shock bodies. Something like these.......or check the Vendors Market here on RCC. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXFTK9&P=ML |
