Hey guys. I'm trying to figure out what brand of springs I've got here. Thy came with a Serpent S411 I bought, but there seems to be too many colours for the Serpent S411 range of cars. I think the only colour not shown here are the grey ones. So, that's 10 colours in total, unless I missed something.

I've got them ordered roughly from softest to hardest, but would rally like to find a spring chart for them. Any ideas?

Definately Serpent and if they are 23 mm in length, then here is your chart:

- Spring grey L23 (2.6/14.8) TC (2) (#160297)
- Spring black L23 (2.9/16.5) TC (2) (#160298)
- Spring white L23 (2.3/13) (2) (#160300)
- Spring yellow L23 (2.8/16) (2) (#160301)
- Spring orange L23 (3.4/19.5) (2) (#160302)
- Spring red L23 (4.1/23.5) (2) (#160303)
- Spring pink L23 (4.9/28) (2) (#160304)
- Spring blue L23 (5.8/33) (2) (#160305)
- Spring purple L23 (6.8/39) (2) (#160306)
- Spring green L23 (8/45.5) (2) (#160307)
- Spring grey L23 (9/51.5) (2) (#160308)
- Spring black L23 (10/57) (2) (#160309)

Thanks! Found this. I'd better count coils to be sure. Kinda weird there are colours repeated, eh?

Dang, not quite right. Counted coils and measured wire gauge. It's gets me in the ballpark anyway.

Jim for the MTS pick a medium hard spring for the front, say green or orange ones, for the rear the softest ones you can find like the whites. Outdoors on the pave track, I ran it once or twice with really stiff bladders and full rebound and no springs on the back. Rc version of a nitrogen spring shock....lol

Thanks guys. It's a little confusing considering they coloured their springs differently for each line and I've got a set with 11 pairs, rather than 5, like the s411

Anyway, I'm in the ballpark now. I'll be copying Ivan's setup pretty close. It's a lot like an m05, so I uderstand it.

Now I need to unpack the grease from that effin diff.

Silcone remover, from a body shop works wonders. I just tried some last night on my diff.

Used thinner silicone to start, like 20wt. Then switched to silicone spray to really loosen up what was left..

It's a lot like when I used to grease my hair. Shampoo wouldn't touch that stuff, but baby oil loosened it up, so the soap could do what it does.
