Hey all,
Sorry for bringing springs up again...
Has anyone actually checked the tamiya short springs to see if they fit direct onto the 3racing shocks? I'd rather not have to spend $50+ just so I can go to slighter softer rear springs...
Thanks in advance.
Oh and for the guys converting and having battery mount issues, I just got some double sided Velcro from my local hardware shop and used that in place of tape. To keep the battery from hitting the belts, I used the centre battery mount bracket from the original s kit screwed to the center of the upper deck with the T piece pointed back to the battery it holds it in really nicely.

Now I tried the yellow rear blue front combo and the car was terrible, it convinced me I was in the ballpark with the yellow all around. I only had one spare pair of blue (the others were on my mini), so out of curiosity when I got my 3Racing springs, I tried 6.5 all around to see how the car was.
It felt great, and it took me by surprise. I thought what the hell, I'll try the 6.0 on the front and see what happens. It was even better. Somehow a harder front produced more steering. I'm still wanting to try harder just to see what happens.
So unless you want to go ultra soft, I'd stick with the 3Racing springs.

My understanding is that the Zero is discontinued, but the S is alive and strong. I see nothing that shows otherwise, and so many parts being backordered only shows the popularity of the car.
That being said, I have an S that is about to be for sale (never run, has the "necessary" upgrades, 19t pulleys, vert motor mount, alum hexes) and will be selling my full Zero with all upgrades (Xray bumper, TC6 balls and ends, ECS axles) in the next month or so.

Ok so I am going to bight the bullet and get a 3 racing sakura s
The descriptions are not clear does it come with a servo saver and does it come with a pinion and spur gear? If yes, what tooth count and pitch?
I will be using a 8.5t 4000kv motor with 2s and 3s, what parts should I keep as spares? I am thinking I would need a spare set of belts, center pulleys and diff pulleys. Anything else.
This looks like it will be a hell of a good basher and parts are cheap so I think this is the car for me

Greg at feral batteries carries spares for the zero, most of those parts are a direct fit into the zero s. So spares wont be a problem, pretty good prices from him to. Because its Aus post tho postage is a rip. Will cost you $9 in shipping no matter how small your order is. But it is at my place in newcastle the next day. 3Racing can take a week or so but shipping is only about $5 for a small order.
