You guys need to take into consideration why they are running a 78 or 75 or 81 spur. It's not to achieve a gear ratio. It's to adjust the weight bias and make the car handle differently.
I tried 75, 78 and 81. Always went back to 81. It's a prefrence thing.
Hope this helps!

the limiters go under the piston on the shock shaft. Start with 2 all around.
The limiters come in the kit but any shim that fits the diameter of the shock shaft will do the trick. Default setup is 2mm front and rear.
i can't find the part # but look in the manual it should be there if u need extra but it should come with enough.

Also, if you are really interested in learning how to tune, check out the Tuning With Camber Links thread on RC Tech here.
Installation is covered in the FT manual (I just did a Worlds Car build and it is the same manual). The only time I'd not use the limiters would be for an extremely rough track.
HAHAHA...I doubt you would save any time in the long run. The telenet website has quite a bit of reading and the tuning with camber links thread is so long you grow old before you get to the end of it. Its all great stuff to know though if you are fairly serious about making your car work better and understanding why it works.
With the spring set, I can outfit my 2wd and 4wd car with 1 buggy spring set...so you're not ending up with a bunch of un-used springs. If you search for posts by my username, I already posted my standard setups to start with.

Here is what i used...
TLR5172 Team Losi Racing Front Shock Spring Set (2.5 Rate/Red)
TLR5166 Team Losi Racing Rear Shock Spring Set (1.8 Rate/White)
TRA3768 Traxxas Shock Spring Retainers (Upper & Lower) x2
I keep hearing that the search function "does not work", so I tried it. Typed "losi springs parts needed" and the 3rd or 4th post on the very first page was Bob Barry's post with the parts needed. So, does the search function not work, or is the search process too complicated? Hmmm......
