So looking at the springs they are using, the best I can figure out is they are running these springs weights on the front:
Kyosho White = 3.72 lbs./in.
Kyosho Pink - 3.58 lbs./in.
Losi Red = 2.5 lbs./in.
Those seem really heavy comparing to a Associated Brown which is 2.8 lbs./in.
In the rear:
Kyosho Gold - 2.5 lbs./in.
Losi White - 1.8 lbs./in.
As compared to the Associated Green which in 1.9 lbs./in.
Am I looking at this right?
I believe the difference here is kyosho is more of a progressive spring and its theoretical is a lot higher than the actual. I found a list of actual on the kyosho and it went
Front
K White 3.22
K Pink 3.08
rear
Gold 2.14
So yes they are heavier expect for due's losi spring setup which seemed light...
But also the car is longer and things are a bit different with that, you know how the standard spring for the T4.1 was Blue (3.45) and the SC10 was around Blue to Red (3.45-3.90) so a little bit stiffer up front than the brown makes sense, and the kyo pink is lighter (assumed actual) then the AE silver, which it wasnt super uncommon to see people using..
Thats at least how i like to rationalize it in my head, prob not even close
