Default Jammin 16mm shock spring rate

Was wondering if the spring that came with the shocks are rated hard?

I found this-->CLICK HERE, but the thing is that the color is lighter than the stock one that came with the shocks.

Any Ideas?

I think they come with soft springs. I dunno, I bought the nickel hard ones for mine. Gonna lighten the shock oil, though.

I bought the Nickel hard springs. I've not gotten to try them out, and my CRT's laying in pieces right now, but I should have everything to get it running in a few days, and I can give you an update. :P

Alright. :P

Why do you want the stiffest springs? That'd probably put a lot of strain on your chassis.

Oh the one you have right now is stiff/hard, I just went through it one by one LoL! I hope that its a little bit stiffer than the blue one that I got...

the shocks right now is on my hyper st and it feels soft not like it was in the Jammin, so... thats why I needed a little bit stiffer than the blue springs that I got.

I might try the one you got but Im just gonna wait for the reply on the seller and see what he has to offer on the stiffest spring that he have.

Ah. That might be the stiffest, but I seem to recall them going up to extra hard. Might not be the same for the 16mm springs, though.

The front springs on this were a bit soft. The chassis drooped down, and I had to tighten the springs to get it back up.

Try Nitrohouse.com or A-Main Hobbies.com, they both should
have all springs in stock.
Also if you want a stiffer spring the Losi purple rear springs
will work on the front perfect and on the rear they are a little short
but will work if you crank the ajdusters down. I like the Losi grey
fronts on the rear, they made my CRT handle better.
