Ive gotta get a set of the HPI silver springs, if they are right between yellow and blue, that would be perfect.
From what I've found at SoCal, yellow is very drivable, but not as fast as it can be. Blue makes the car very loose and hard to drive, but when done right it's extremely fast. Hopefully the silver will make the car a little loose so the back end rotates easilly, but a little easier to drive than a Tamiya blue spring.

I checked on the HPI site, and they are rated at 302 gramms force/mm, I converted this into lb/in (302 x (25.4/453.39) to give 16.911 lb/in. The tamiya short whites are rated at 17.24 lb/in, and the short blues at 15.27 (taken from a chart given too me a while ago).
This makes them stiffer than the standard length yellows (13.33 lb/in) and blues (14.08 lb/in).
If you want some springs between these two, try the AE silvers, there at 13.89 lb/in
BTW I have loads of spring rates on the excel sheet on my site. Comparing AE, Tamiya, Rayspeed, Yokomo, Xray and HPI springs.

Guys I donīt meet Marc that much. Leini meets him more often.
But I think you wonīt get his worlds setup as he usually donīt write down any setup. Also he had a mechanic at the worlds so he maybe wonīt know his complete setup.

They didn't have any in stock when I tried to order them yesterday, but they are considered the premier place to get your corally gear so it shouldn't take em long to get more.
