They look like X-ray springs.....that spring combo is what most used at the Novak race and what I use most of the time on carpet with foams on my EC.

The kit chassis is 2mm with lots of cutouts for more flex for rubber tire racing.

Adrian,
whats the word so far with that layshaft?
Being supported on only one side makes me wonder if it puts undo stress on those bearings or the main support post (#U3125)
Any problems thus far when running the torque of mod motors?
What was the thinking behind only one side support?
I would imagine that extending it to the other bulkhead would not have changed the ease of getting to the spur gear.
BTW, good thing you guys went with pewter, those purple bulkeads were too much.

Scooby - An LRP X11 4.5 turn with the sintered magent is the most brutal mod motor this side if an impact wrench. PW has tested the Mi3 on carpet with foam tires with this motor. I think I saw the car pop a wheelie coming out of a corner once and the lay shaft system survived perfectly 
We are very confident in our new layshaft arrangement.

I really hope that they are the same I had 9 bodies painted already for the coming outdoor season here in Europe.
