TLR 8ight 16mm Evo buggy shock springs

Coming from Team Losi Racing are the new 16mm Evo shock springs for the 8ight buggy platform. This full line of springs is closer together in rate for finer tuning as well as a constant coil diameter while also being longer in length. They have been found to offer much better performance in all conditions, especially when it comes to bump track handling and landing. To run the springs the LOSA5435 spring cups of the older 1.0 and 2.0 kits have to be used. The springs are colour-coded and they come in six front and seven different rear hardnesses.
