Some Noob questions here:
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.

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.

It looks like the spring is short and not really giving you much room to adjust your preload is this correct?

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.
