Long time since I've been on here, I'm ordering my new 1/10th car in the next couple of days, so I'm wondering if there are any other springs available yet??? If not could someone let me have some measurements off the standard springs so I can see if there's any other makes that will fit.
Thanks

The springs are aprox 14.75 mm inside dia. And the shock bodies are 13.9mm in dia. These are "big bore" shocks and I havent found anything to put on it yet. Also we need a piston selection.

If I was to guess, they are probably old school 1/8 scale dimensions. They looked pretty close to the blitz size wise. Now I am going to have to go look later tonight.

I don't know the size of the blitz's springs, but I have a couple of old 1/8 springs and they are bigger, the s10b springs are about 14.6mm or so, and the 1/8 are about 16mm.

Thanks for that, any idea on length???
Losi springs are correct internal dimensions, just need to check lengths.
Kit should be with me later today all being well.

I finally dug up some old Losi Springs and they do work fine front and rear. No rubbing on shock bodies at all when compressed ?&^
