Must smooth the gears and differential cases with sandpaper.

question for the HB lads,

I borrowed a set of springs from a local racer yesterday which he said were HB silver, which I have been trying to hunt down, but they were black with silver "dabs" of silver, I orderd some, and I see they are Hara matched "grey" springs. they worked great for me, just wondering if they are infact the same springs as the hpi/hb silver?

regards, Jack

They are not the same. The newer "silver" springs are softer compared to the older silver spring

you mean the Atsushi Hara black "grey" is softer? I noticed some of the HPI springs listed were 1.2 and other 1.6

The hara grey springs are much softer than the HPI silvers, dont forget you are comparing progressive vs linear

They also could be Tamiya white-colored springs....

The spring HPI/HB #5543 (Silver) are available in two colors: silver/chrome and black, but they are of the same rate(16,9 lb), it only changes the color finish.
The Hara springs have a different rate, although the identifier color is the same.

Default 10.5 Gearing Help
Our asphalt season is starting this weekend and I need a little help with gearing. Track size is @ 150' x 80', motor 10.5. What would be a good starting FDR?
