Losi BB springs to Kyosho BB springs
Hi,
I'm looking into upgrading my springs from Losi to Kyosho but I'm not sure what to order as I've always used Losi springs. As these springs from Kyosho cost a small fortune I want to be sure hat to get What are the equivalent springs for the following: Front: Losi Green = Kyosho ? Losi Blu = Kyosho ? Rear: Losi Pink = Kyosho ? Losi Yellow= Kyosho ? Thanks in advance! |

Very roughly the order is as follows
Fronts:- X-gear red Losi Green X-gear yellow Losi Blue X-gear Orange Losi Black Rear:- X-gear Red Losi Yellow X-gear Yellow (very close to the losi yellows but much more progressive feel on car) Losi Pink X-gear Orange Losi Red The difference between the two sets of springs is that the X-gear springs feel a lot more progressive on the car than the Losi springs, it's to do with the way they are wound to achieve each rate. Hopefully I'll have a proper table up soon comparing all the common big bore springs properly on an industrial compressive test machine but until then the above will work as a reasonable guide. Forget all the charts you find online, not one is totally right and they all differ from each other quite a bit. Hope that helps P.S. On the RB6 I tend to run X-gear yellow front / X-gear red rears (or Losi Pink if using an additional hole on the wishbone to the standard inside hole on flat arms) |

I've got the Losi Low Frequency sets and they seem to be pretty decent so far.
Apparently the original 22 springs are not that great at all. |

Altough I'm a Kyosho fan 100% I've see a lot of guys running the Losi shocks (not the LF ones) on K cars with great results.
Despite being great on low grip conditions some prefer the Losi ones. AE guys even tried them on their small bores and most sold them afterwards. I would say try a set before, especially considering their price point. |
