They have them...just look under the ZX-5. Same springs.

Some are on B/O from Kyosho, though...but that's where I got most of mine.

I usually trim down to one bar left. The higher the "wick" the more high speed rear traction you should have.

I only trim one line off, but we run on pretty slick tracks up here.

Maybe you should try a Losi.
