Special (velvet) coating on the shock case realizes stable and smooth shock function.
*For TF-5 / Velvet Coated Case (same size as W5189-07)

hi all
anyone here use a spool? if so, which one? the kit plastic one or kyosho aluminium one? do you know if there are 3rd party ones available and possibly made in steel as i have the aluminium one in at the moment but bent it in my first race even though i didnt take a bad hit at all
anyone use LA201 steel diff outdrives? will it fit? i am thinking about getting it to make a spool.
thanks in advance

I use spools everywhere and the only reason I haven't run the car yet is that I'm waiting for one... I didn't even consider running either spools you mentioned, instead I ordered a spool from JP Products sytaight away.

Obviously it's in French but Patrick understands english, so if you just ask him by email he'll tell you the price and delays. Remember these are hand made spools so he needs some time to make one for each customer. I recommend getting a few spare outdrives, as even though they're very durable (in my other car, I've ran the spool for over 5 months now and still have the original outdrives in it), you never know you might break one in a big crash.

If you have a Stallion, here's the link for the spool.

Hi all,
This thread hasn't been very active lately.... had to go down to page 8 to find it...
Anyway I wrote a review of the Stallion Shin, which you can find HERE
You'll find my latest carpet setup for the car and some useful tips. There'll be a second part in a bit with more tips, probably an updated setup (maybe an asphalt one as well) and how the car wears etc...
Enjoy the read.

Nice tips & pixs. But i m still using the wide chassis due to lipo. I wish i can use the shin version but it wnt fit my 6000 lipos
I hv both the TF5 & stallion both handles differently I like the TF5 as its shalf driven. The Stallion feels abit loose
