Towerhobbies has the PRO4 spring set, but they have 2 gold, 2 silver, and the rest are black. What and where are the HPI blue? Is HPI blue just a rating, instead of the actual color of the spring(Xray and Associated have their springs color coated). Asked at local hobby shop and they have boxes of HPI springs for TC, some are green, blue, white, orange, etc...are these the ones? Can someone please explain the HPI/HB color/spring rating system and where to get the HPI "blue" rated springs?
only the gold and silver pro4 springs are coloured, the rest are black with painted colour bands for the rating, take a look at the following link for a picture of the springs
