[QUOTE=simplechamp;8767114]If anyone could take a few measurements with a caliper, it would be greatly appreciated.

We need:

Length, uncompressed
Spring outer diameter
Wire diameter
Number of coils, not counting the very top and bottom where the spring is closed and ground

This is the RC4Less spring for Losi8, package comes with spring rates of 12 through 22. (I don't have the standard kit springs)

I have the Gold one at hand (spring rate 16).. the package comes with

Length, uncompressed : 39mm
Spring outer diameter: 25mm
Spring inner diameter: 20.5 mm
Wire diameter: 2.2
Number of coils, not counting the very top and bottom where the spring is closed and ground: 7
