It's been tough keeping up with the ever-increasing demand for the Photon and parts. At TOP USA we increase the quantities with every order but still haven't found the magic number that keeps everything in stock all the time. The factory has even been caught off guard with a couple of parts not being produced in sufficient quantities but adjustments are being made. These are just growing pains and the situation is getting better every day.

Roche Spool
Just want to ask if anyone interested with Titanium screw??? ROche titanium screw have deeper Hex hole than other titanium screw on the market. this is to minimize the chance of screw striping..

Now that the Top spool has been fixed there is no reason to buy any other spool IMO. I have not had a spool failure in like 4 months since the version 3 came out and now with the alum and steel spool cups it doesnt get better.
Plus the stock spool with the steel cups is about 10g lighter than the roche.

I've always run springs that were made for the car. ie... Xray springs with Xray cars, Corally springs with Corally cars. I hear alot of talk about Tamiya springs and HPI springs. Has anyone used them on the Photon and what were your thoughts on them?

Has anyone else noticed that with the stock setup out of the manual the collars on the spring bodies have to be almost wound all the way up to achieve a 5mm ride height ?
My shocks measure 63mm from end to end (same as others posted on here).
Would shorter springs with collars halfway down the shock body affect the handling in any way ?

However, some racers do like to think that the spring length makes a difference. I haven't done any back-to-back comparisons myself.
The TOP Scythe springs probably fit the Photon shocks. They are wound a few mm shorter.
