Why is evrybody putting losi springs on their SC10? They look cool and give a little more control in some areas
What is the advantage to doing it? Stock springs tend to rub on the shock body. these don't. Give you a little more room for spring rates
Which ones do u put on it? Most people run orange/silver front and Yellow/Pink rear. The rates(colors) will change per driver per track. I run Red/front,Gray/Rear
What else do you need to do it? [B]Add Traxxas upper spring collars or GHEA(sp) and Losi cups along with the springs
What is a BB spring?BB= Big Bore. If I recall. our stock springs are 10mm and Losi BB are 12mm.

Hope that helps. most of that can be found throughout this thread and the B4.1 Thread

Crush tube

I have looked at manuals, think it is another mistake, but what crush tube are you all running with B 44 rear hubs? I may just cut come bearings and use races as tubes.

So is this the traxxas shock collar and losi spring cups? Or what is this?
It looks like the spring is short and not really giving you much room to adjust your preload is this correct?

No, this is a custom made Losi bb spring retainer that a member on here made for me (he is a machinist). They are installed on a stock F.T. V2 shock assembly. And no, I have room to adjust the spring. I have different springs as well for the rear, I just took a picture with a pink one on. I plan to try them out tomorrow before the races :)

Agreed. As for me, I'm just gonna wait for them before I start buying Losi parts and retrofitting them onto my SC10. Just a personal preference.
