black being the softest, green, then white for the rear. Then brown, black, then green for the front. Those, for the most part, are the main springs you will use. I have yet to see anyone use black for the rear, but im sure it is being done. I mainly run White rear, black/green front. These are with big bores btw.

There you go.

And just in case you missed it or I forgot, mine was with V2's. I just grabbed the springs ahead of time. Was about to get the shocks but had my radio go poo poo so I held off.

You WILL like the 1/2 ounce though. I run 2 quarters right in front of my servo (with a shorty) and they are there to stay.

Those of you who have proline hexes or know about hexes for the b4.1... Have you guys ever had this happen (check photo)? I notice that when I screw and clamp the hex that the top posts do not look very even, is this even normal? btw, isn't the hexes suppose to clamp onto the axle pins? Also, do you guys scre in fully till you can't go anymore? so that the top two posts are evenly clamped?

Yeah...you dont need to hulk them down, just snug them up so they dont fall off.

Even when I screw down completely, the hexes don't hold onto the axle pins, shouldn't they be? I don't know if mine are defective or not.

Yes they should, there would be very little reason for the screw it if its purpose was not to clamp them onto the axle.

Ok good, and I thought I was going nuts. Maybe I got a bad batch, but mine were not holding to the pins whatsoever. Currently getting a replacement set and I hope they hold. Basically I just need to screw in till it holds to the pins, correct?

I still want to know if that clamp looks right near the top of the 2 posts. It just doesn't seem even.

Yes basically, it is not important to crank them down just snug them up. With the small screw over tightening can have negative consequences as you can see from your current hubs.

Give it a try if you think it will help. Let us know too.
The first brushless motors and esc we had were way different... I actually use roll a lot when running in low bite slick conditions.

I am about to buy some tools and I was wanting to know what are the size of the nut drivers for the slipper clutch nut and the rear wheel nuts?
