Traxxas #3768 if you do not use the GHEA collars
Losi TLR5095 for the lower cups

Now since the TLR5095 is out of stock everywhere i could find. Has anyone came up with a new solution?
Ive thought about using the the Traxxas collars on the bottom as well with the Associated 9724 Offset Cups. Problem I could already see is that you're raising the lower cup when you already have a pretty short space for the longer spring.
You could cut/sand some off the top of the shock eyelet so the cup sits lower but with less threads you risk pulling the shaft out.

Brent just text me and said all i needed to convert was a B4.1 W.E. , losi spring cups, traxxas spring retainers, and a cucumber. I'm just not sure about one thing and that is, what are the traxxas spring retainers for? He said the cucumber has something to do with anti-squat lol.

Not sure if anyone else is running into this problem but in AZ it is literally impossible to find the Losi spring cups for the 22 BB conversion. So I have found a decent alternative for people who just cant wait. I bought some of the older Losi spring cups like the ones found on the XXXT part #LOSA5079, and then I bought 4 of the TRA3768 shock collars. The spring cups are just slightly smaller than the 22 cups, so I took a razor blade and split the traxxas collar so I could fit it over the spring cup. Then I super glued the traxxas collar to the spring cup and cut the shaft opening the same size. Spring sets on it perfectly. Fits the AE shock end perfectly. Obviously its easier to use the Losi cups, but they are M.I.A. Out here. I will post a pic in a minute.

Sooo, who's the SOB costing you big wins now?
Sorry, couldn't resist! LMAO!!!
Hi, Angelo!
Yea, Mr Barry has been havin some bad luck. If it's got tires or wires, he's wrecking it!
I also pointed out the idea of cleaning the ESC case out to help remedy the button issue. I'm actually surprised how much dirt can actually build up in those little cases.

Hi Guys,
For those of you running Losi springs; it seems the lowest I can get the front ride height to is 25mm. I have the collars adjusted all the way up and I’m using the traxxas collars over the stock threaded collars and Losi spring cups. Am I doing something wrong or is this par for the course?
Thanks,
Jose
