Default Springs

I read somewhere on this forum that someone was using Losi springs for their X11.... Which model car were the springs from? Are they longer? Do they fit on the new shocks?

Thanks

I'm using blue losi xxx front springs on the back of my pred at the moment, works well although there is a small amount which rubs but only because the springs have a marginally bigger diameter than the standard ones

any losi 1/10th buggy front spring as they are all the same lenth from the xx through to current cars, the losi springs arelonger than the kit ones so give a different characteristic to the pred springs. wether better or not is another question......... i personaly prefer the pred springs but others swear by the losi ones. i have also seen AE front springs being used as well
