Default shock springs

ok, so i've decided to have a play, and i'm half way through fitting losi shocks to the b4...

anyone have an idea what a rough equivalent would be for blue fronts and silver rears? Obviously I'll end up with a selection, but at the mo I've only got red fronts and green rears, and need to order more so I can test them before the regional next week.

Thanks in advance!

Rob

Start with red pistons and 27.5wt oil all round, with the springs you have should work quite well.

Brian is only trying to help

The losi springs are a lot longer than the AE ones, not sure on the travel of the shocks though, limiters may be needed inside the shocks

if you're talking to me, not brian, then I don't know yet...

Only just threw them together last night, with apparently completely the wrong oil and pistons... yet to offer them up to the car.

So much easier to build and rebuild than the Associated units, and they are silky smooth... and I'm crap at building shocks!

Obviously, i was talking to Robin, cos he's a nobhead!

By the way, this was my idea originally, you stole it!!

How much did they cost Rob? (in total, to adapt them to the b4 as well).
