Default X6 With Bigbore Losi Springs

I race in the UK, from high traction astro and carpet, indoors and out and of course grass. I'v ordered the blue and pink springs. Would I need any others? Currently, I only use Associated Blue and Silver everywhere with good results.

Also, do I need anything else to mount the springs up on associated shocks V1's. I'v ordered TLR5095 shock ends and cups just incase. Do i need large collars?

thanks Steve, I ordered those springs.

I have tried to find those collars in stock in UK but havent found them yet. Pdub is out of stock. But guess what?! I went into my 30 years of RC old junk RC bits box and found all my Traxxas Emaxx plastic collars and cups and I think they might just work perfectly. The upper collars slip over the associated ones and look perfect.

Will post a pic if someone else hasn't done this after i get the springs. Fingers crossed they come today.

Yep the traxxas stuff works. Might be .5 of a mm smaller but will do the job!

Default Spring collars

I use the collars made by Ben Jamieson on here. They are superb.

Also the plastic collars from Durango big bores work with a slight mod.
