I sold all of my tlr springs do I wouldn't be tempted to use them. My Kyosho golds will be here next week but I want to try the stock springs first.

I'd start with the base japanese setup. Should be pretty good from there as long as you choose the right tire . All the kyosho steering racks are out of stock except someone is making aluminum and another company is coming out with theirs on the 19th. If you need rear grip add some .5* rear hubs or 0* if you like the strength of aluminum.
I used a B4 CF strap to make a CF strap for mine and bought the thumb screws, cut the head off a M4 screw, cut the battery post, and threaded an M4 screw into it so I had a screw down battery hold down.
Bfast diff or ceramic thrust and carbide diff balls. Kit ones are also good.
You'll find the directions are strange and there is a lot of slop in the shock top eyelets. Kyosho says to tighten down the 4.8mm ball until it squishes and takes the slop out(which I find goofy). Be carful to not over tighen the plastic nuts that are called for or get some flanged M3 nuts. Use care in the direction of the arrow of the steering rack when putting it on unless you want to take it apart later.
Use the black SP gear in the transmission it will last longer although you will find 2 white ones in the box.
The shock ends are in different places/bags that are called for in the directions it takes some looking.
Don't spend 10 minutes looking for slipper washers that are metal... they are on one of the trees. The manual is goofy. Look at the pictures and if you don't understand ask here I'm sure someone has run into it... I understand japanese and I still didn't get it sometimes!

At West Coast...the new proline suburb front tires have way to much front grip and it causes the front to dig in too much and then you loose corner speed. When it digs in it also induces a push , because the front end has more grip than the rear. It will plow through the sweeper and that is why I recommended a different front tire for Bran.

You'll find better prices and parts availability if you look at places like speedtech and LPH
