This question is a little off in left field but i'm sure you guys can help. I noticed that my tc5 springs seem to fit these 3 racing shocks I've got and I have done a bit of research on spring rates and some non scientific testing w/ my hands and am trying to see if anyone really knows a correlation between the two? From the spring charts I've seen the TC5 green is close to the tamiya red despite it not really feeling close when compressing in my hand. I did notice that the AE silver is similar to Tamiya yellow. My question is, does anyone use AE TC shocks on their minis? If I have to buy new springs I will but I'd rather not if what I have will do the job. As of now I have the 3 racing springs in now which seem similar to the Tamiya yellow If I remember correctly.


Thanks
Dave
