What parts from the XXXS are used in the JRXS?

I see the front castor blocks, spindles, and the rear hubs are similar.

What about the shock springs, and one-way?

The spindles are actually different then the xxxs spindles: they have an extra ackerman hole.

Items that are the same/interchangable:

castor blocks, rear hub carriers, outter hinge pins, diff pullies, old rear body mounts will work on the new car, yet the new ones have more holes down lower, losi hexes

I'm sure there's a few more things... I'm just shootin' off the top of my head right now

I think that the new shock bodies are smaller, thus the need for new springs, I thought that I also read that the rates are also different.

From what I have seen, the springs are shorter on the new car than they were on the XXXS.

Surprisingly, Gill Jr had super soft front springs on his car at the 'birds. My guesstimate, they were 30# or less! Really surprised me.

Wow, I didnt realize they were running springs that heavy. I cant wait to drive this car, I have a feeling it's gonna be a lot different than anything else out there.

At the Champs-I think some Team drivers chose 45 with a sway bar and other guys ran 70 without a sway bar. Driver preference!!
