Awesome setup for carpet when you need stiffer shocks for high traction surfaces. I run brass weights in my mini b and this made a huge difference on my local track. I can get a lower ride height but still retain a higher stiffness for cornering which give me less body roll.
BUY THE HOT RACING ONES TO SAVE MONEY! The springs work perfect and the fit is good! FYI, the silver Spring is basically useless because it’s so soft. You will need to turn the shock collars all the way to the bottom to get the car to not be scraping along the ground when running the silver spring. The other two options are great and work fine. The reason I’m giving this one star is because you should be buying the hot Racing ones. They are the exact same spring rate, the exact same length the exact same color, the exact same springs but for four dollars less. in addition to having a lower price, they also allow you to use coupons whereas horizon does not allow you to use coupons which I think is a really stupid move. The profit margin on china made plastic parts and metals is massive and they even sponsor nascar teams but don’t let me save $1 by using a coupon on the already overpriced product. Corporate greed has no place
I really only bought this package for the copper colored springs. They should be 4mm longer in my opinion, you aren't really able to lower the car much because the shock travel exceeds the relaxed length of the spring.
Three verified owners reviewed this three-spring set for the Losi Mini-B front shocks. One reviewer, who runs brass weights, found the stiffer spring useful on high-traction carpet, reporting a lower ride height with less body roll. Another reviewer said the springs work and fit well but found the silver spring too soft, needing shock collars turned fully down to avoid scraping. A third reviewer bought the set mainly for the copper spring but felt it should be about 4mm longer, limiting how far the car can be lowered. One reviewer also argued that a competing set from another brand offers the same springs for less, though that comparison is not about this product's performance.
