What sized springs do the cudas use? are they compatible with springs like AE or YOKOMO ones? Or do they have their own sets

I think the stock springs are 1.4x6.0
the Yok springs will work..
I use the Rayspeed red/white on mine.

I already have the WEB special... don't know about getting the R3 yet...want to try out the new Pro4 as well...

Speedtech will not charge you credit card until the kits have arrived and shipped to you.

sweet deal.

yeah, i hear these webspecials are worth major moolah, and they look great too. i just couldn't pass up a pink anodized touring sedan, not to mention its alex racing with nothin but good words.

is there any battery mounting system that is available or is strapping tape the only solution?

Strapping tape is still the best.

With the R3 chassis you will have to use tape which as ramon said is the best way and which is what most racers use .
I have just found out you can put the battery hold down also.

Will there be any hopups needed for this car? Or is it basically ready to race?
You'll be fine if you get just the alloy shaft holders. Everything else is just added bling.

From looking at pictures, I still do not understand fully the whole floating shaft thingy.

What is that all about?

SOrry for my newbie ignorance.
