That question right there is why I've never run anything to close my carb. The local track is too far me so I never needed to meet any kind of rule requirement.

But now I have this brand new $150 Futaba servo that's real twitchy and had a runaway with another car a while back so between those 2 things, I'm trying to start using return springs.

I just got my Dynamite springs in the mail Friday and they look a lot better then the Nova springs so hopefully at least maybe I can now do something about the twitchy servo.

All my servos I run for T/B are at least 180/oz so I guess they're strong enough to tolerate the extra load?
