Aluminium Spring Cups
Was wondering if anybody knew if these would fit the top loading gold shocks. If I knew the diameter that would be great. Normally I would just buy them and see but they are a little pricey so wanted to check here first.

Re: Aluminium Spring Cups
Says there for the Losi 8, which is 1/8 scale. Probably way to big. HG Hammad Ghuman made aluminum shock parts for the RC10.........a bit hard to find though.

Re: Aluminium Spring Cups
I thought losi springs were always larger diameter than associated but they say it works for both. Guess you will find out

Re: Aluminium Spring Cups
Agreed, but this is the other way around. That's why I was wondering if it will really fit associated springs. Worst case you could use Losi's.

Re: Aluminium Spring Cups
And then you don't wear the ano off the outside of your 1:32 body by using a spring that imo, is too small. Once I started using losi springs, I can't go back to the tiny ae ones. My nit-pickiness, but I have this theory that you get a much smoother shock when the spring isn't bending sideways and scraping on the shock body.gomachv wrote:Agreed, but this is the other way around.

Re: Aluminium Spring Cups
That's a pretty good point. I had noticed that, the scraping of the shock body. I'll try both.
