So are the K Factory springs better than the TM springs? I run outdoor asphalt rubber tyre. Currently racing 17.5 stock and soon 10.5 super stock. Which K Factory set would be the pick 21-30?

Cheers

The TM springs are much less expensive and work just fine.

Does TM have a spring kit or do you need to purchase them individually?
So how much for one pair of springs times 10?

Wait, don't answer that, I'll find out for myself.:D

The TM kit is 26.99, PN 502143. The springs sets are 4.55 each, PNs 502135 to 502142.

I think I payed about $40 for the set of 10 pairs ..
Thats $0.55 cheaper per unit AND i got a nice carying case. With labels!:eek:

Well, it looks like getting either kit will be a much better deal than buying separately.
about $40 for the 10 pair K Factory kit and $27 for the 8 pair TM kit.

@ $4.55 per pair that's $36.40 for the set of 8 TM springs before shipping!

And for a set of 10 KF's it's still cheaper than the TM's individually.

Thanks guys, I know what I have to do...Go back to 1/8th scale!:lol:
I'm kidding...

Hey guys,
I run my car without the middle support in the rubber tire class to give the chassis a bit more flex.
This posed a problem for mounting the antenna so I fabricated this mount.
I think it turned out really well.
I have one extra and if enough people want to give this mounting bracket a try I will make more. I need a minimum of 10 pieces to make it worth the time.
They will cost $10 each and perhaps $15 each with the antenna tube clamp. If I can find more of them...
They are CNC machined aluminum and very lightweight.
What do you guys think?

No rear sway bar ? Hmm..

Jeeeez John, you don't miss much!

Actually when I got the car (used) it was missing quite a few things.
I need to get the links and a set of bars for the carpet for sure but it seems to work pretty good on marginal pavement, so I'm told.
Other than that, how does it look?:D

Oh yeah, you didn't mention the fact that my receiver has no case. A story for another time...

The part you made is friggin sweet !
Car looks good too. You may want to concider a low profile servo. And jusr a straight piece of .093, .078 and .062 piano wire and you are all set . Kline has 2 different 3 packs of sway bars not too pricy and you can always use a generic link. You will thank me next time you run carpet . :tire:

I've never heard of running without the center support. Have you tried it yet?

Yeah, a few guys have suggested it for rubber tires on pavement. You can get a little more traction because the chassis is very stiff, especially if you are using the thicker top plate.

You can also remove the 2 stand offs that connect the chassis and upper deck to get more flex.

i never used the center brace , that was the first thing that i took of my car:nod:

I like the antenna mount. I'm good for two of them.
