T.O.P Racing & Sy Brand
If you check out T.O.P.'s official website, www.top-racing.jp (English version), you'll see how SY and T.O.P. (Tokyo hobbies Optional Parts) is officially related in Japan. What's wrong with setting up a good team in HK? May be the HK's distributor is just doing their job.
SY brand, maybe they bought the car design and hire the designer for promotion of car, because in website, mostly photos are from HK, i am not against with them, but i am just wondering quality chassis like everyone, i am just measuring to have another one, of course Scythe is one the target, so i have bad events with my Xpress, due it's material quality, japanese brand Alex racing design have bought their design and made another one with better quality on everything.Then most of my pals said, the origin's (HK Xpress) car quality never could compare with the sucessor one (Japan Express) even the new one is much more expensive but is worthy to buy.

Hi,
I have a question about the springs.
I'm using xray springs but they are a litle bit to long. Have the HPI springs the same lengt as the origenal Top Scythe springs?

The TOP springs are about 22mm long, same sort of length as the old-style Yokomo springs (as the car uses Yokomo shocks).
The new HPI springs from the Cyclone that people are using quite often now are 25mm long.
The best way to run longer springs on the TOP/Yokomo shocks is to get hold of some Rayspeed shock bottoms RS-15, these are offset down a little.
