Sure, but I'm telling you there's a way to measure it and be absolutely sure.
Not saying your way is no good craig , just saying how I'm tuning ..
With Brown watching me try ...
There is no substitute for testing. Calculations are only a shortcut if your track time is limited.
BTW the red in question I believe is softer then the green , we had both around.
It is. ICRC Losi springs go (softest to stiffest) white - yellow - pink- red - orange - silver - blue - black.
Was judging by feel & other's guessing as well ...
If you were running yellows all around you had a 4.8 rate in the front and a 3.1 rate in the rear. TLR springs are "about" 20% softer than AE (a TLR 2.6 is almost the same as a 2.0 AE). Thumbnailing it, that would be about a green in the front and a red in the rear (using the same length springs).
The way you have it now, it's exactly backwords to the way you had it set up before. My preference is to run yellow fronts in the front and blue fronts or yellow fronts in the rear.
