He means ( I believe) he is using hpi spring retainers. They are pretty cool, as they have an o-ring on the inside to keep the collars from moving, and they are purple and match the car well. And to top it off they are only $12 bucks for 4

Has anyone tried running an asphalt car on rubber/carpet using the thicker 'carpet' top deck?
I already use the carpet towers so I can remove the diff risers etc. but was wondering if stiffening up the car would help at all.

Oh......shock collars LOL never heard them called spring retainers....infact they aren't...the opposite end is the retainer LOL. It's cool though.

I always thought a shock collar was the top and the spring retainer was the bottom.

I ran the carpet car with a modified carpet top deck and a stock bubber top deck on asphalt. It made the car very quick and reactive, but a little too unforgiving.

Got my EC today. Now to complete my fleet all I need is the MI3. I now have the Axis Pro, Axis2, Mission, MI2, and now the MI2E.C. Plus I have 2 Fireblade U.S.A.'s, 2 EVO's and the Cat 3000.
