Spring orientation?

[niz55]

So I am assuming the smaller coils go on top correct?

Are they IRC springs on stock shocks? what wt oil, is it for a big bore engine?

Just curious as i'm about to build a 55 5iveT using the the stock shocks, and i have the IRC silver and black rear springs

It is not for a big bore. I m running 34cc esp ported with obr case. The car moves incredibly fast for a 34cc. I do lots of jumps (nothing too high). They are stock shocks with the piston holes bored out just a bit and using 2000cst fluid. The compression and rebound are perfectly matched.

I had the silver spring st first but they were complete crap. Switch to these and much better quality.

I never notice a difference in the size of the coils in my Losi 5T Springs.
I have tried many difference springs in the past.
It is never to late to learn.
Thanks for the advise.

I ended up using the black IRC rear springs on stock v2 Losi shocks, and 80wt oil. Fronts are Losi red with 50wt oil
Suspension iss spot on with my 55 supreme

Make sure to change the original orange o rings that come with the shocks and get the losi kit. Same one that come with the 5b kit. The orange ones wear out really fast and start leaking.
