Kyosho Ultima SC-R Thread
#3782
So I finally got my SC-R on the track tonight, and did well. I decided to play with different spring choices in some of the heats, and had both x-gear springs and the avid springs to choose from, but they are too short in the rear... what are you guys using as spacers to get the springs to fit?

75, 70, 65, 60? I'm running an SP with big bores, and x-gear and/or avid springs... what I am hoping to learn, is what to use to get x-gear and/or avid springs to fit the rear of the truck, as they are too short. (some sort of spacer for the shock collar, or spring cup, is needed).

oh my bad, the avid springs are designed for the ae shocks which are different lengths then the kyosho, the kyosho shares shock length on the rear of buggy with the front truck springs where as the ae uses rear buggy shocks on the rear of their trucks and a shock that is a different length in the front. so the avid rear springs would fit the front of the kyosho only.

the rears certainly aren't the same length as the buggy. I run the yellow X-gear rear springs on my buggy (which fit fine), and they are too short on the SC-R SP. The collar is completely off the bottom of the threads, and the truck is still a tad too low. Holding the springs side by side off the car, they are well over an inch shorter than the kit rears.
I tried Avid AND the yellow X-gears, and both are too short for the rear shocks on the SP.

they do make a xgear yellow ront for the truck maybe you have those i tried to put the kyosho truck bb springs on the sc1o and they where too long so i used kyosho buggy rears on the sc10 and they fit perfect thats all i know. i'm not trying to argue with you i'm tellin you what i know. i also know your best bet is to run kyosho springs on your scr,they may cost more but they are worth it. i ran yellows alll the way around on my scr and that truck was great
