What xray springs are you running the new 008 black springs or the older colored springs?

The older colored () one's. I prefer the colored () springs so that I can always tell the difference. The HPI springs and Hara spring are color coded but they wear off in time. I don't like guessing what this spring might be.

You guys are funny

It sure would be nice if HB came out with some cover's for the diffs like the Xray diffs have, the jaad ones dont stick to well on the pro spec for me.

That's why I like the fact that xray engraved the numbers into the new springs. I think I am just going to sell off my pro4 springs since I don't use them any more. The 008 springs are more progressive than the linear older springs and just provide a calmer feel to the car

So Xray went with a progressive spring now???? I'll stick with the linear for now.

My mistake they are still linear but they just feel a lot smoother on my car as compared to the hpi and older xray springs.

Cyclone speed here is the link the black xray springs:

I may check them out then. I wonder if they offer them in different rates compared to their colored springs. Like will they still offer a 14lbs and a 15lbs in the new style or do some weird in between ones. I guess I'll go do some quick research and see what the deal is. Thanks for the heads up on the new springs being stamped.
