There is a super hard and an ultra hard spring, and the are more in line with the short spring lengths. One is grey, and the other is a red wine color

Have you tried putting o-rings inside the shock?

I'm looking into it. We've always stock 3Racing products, and for the TA05 we'll look into those parts that 3Racing makes that is not being made by other manufactures we carry (like Xenon and Square). I'll have to look over the quality on the 3Racing TA05 stuff as well. Square and Xenon have been very good with their quality. I will post when they start coming in

Usually its just "will it sell...yes....then I'll stock it". Good to see that someone is different.
I know you've heard it before Steve, but you and your place is THE best around.
P.S. Just got an order from you, arrived quickly and accurate as always. And I love the paypal option. So when I sell stuff, then I can turn right around and buy more stuff, without having to transfer it from my paypal account first! Thats what I'm talking about...going broke more efficiently!

Here's a link to the Tamiya site where you can order them online!!!!
They are considered a TA04 TRF hop-up, they are the same length as all the short TRF springs Tamiya sells. I'm using the purple springs in the front on my TA05. It gives me a little more adjustability. Running the short yellows in the rear. I can set my ride height as low as I want!
The part # is actually 53632(gray hard),and 53633(purple extra hard) for the short one's ! Not sure of the actual length. I'll have to measure my purple springs and let you know!

Here is a cool new part for all you TA-05 lovers. Im not sure if anyone is aware of this part or even the company, but it seems like a nice piece, and not so expensive either (around 14 bucks). I can get the part to anybody who wants it. if anyone is interested, just let me know.

and glad to hear you got the order okay. I try to as much as I can "pre-screen" the product before I put them on the website, because I believe the products that we sell carries our company's reputation as well (even if they are manufactured by someone else) Thanks again for the compliment

from an almost barebones ta05, what are the best options to get it down as close to 1500grams as possible with the least amount of money? assume that trf shocks, universals, and personal transponder already installed, and must stay tcs legal...
ti or the alum screws?
alum turnbuckles?
liteweight rear universals?
carbon shock towers?
lw suspension?
