Agreed!!!

Well the only true way to know anything would be to take them apart and measure what you have and double check everything. because Kyosho has several shafts they use and AE has atleast 3 ava seperate from the kit. Plus the million a/m ones.

#91305 21 x 3 TiN Shock Shaft
#91306 27.5 x 3 TiN Shock Shaft
#91307 35 x 3 TiN Shock Shaft

You might have the shafts for the truck who know's. I have seen a local buggy with 2 or three different brands of shocks on it at the same time so

The primary driver in the car is the rear spring. The looser the track, the softer the spring you really need, starting at AE green rears. The more traction available in the rear, the stiffer spring you can run and the more steering you can achieve, especially on power. Generally speaking, you should run greens on a track that gets very loose, whites on tracks that hold at least medium grip, and you may find yourself running gray if you're on a very high bite well maintained track. I always keep green and white rears available.

After determining how stiff of a rear spring you can get away with, you will need to pick a front spring. In my opinion, this is primarily based on which rear spring you run and how much rear traction under deceleration you need. The stiffer REAR you run, the stiffer front you will need to run to keep traction when braking or general corner entry. If I run green rears, the softest spring I will run in the front is black. If I run white rears, the softest spring I will run in the front is green. If the track has a section where the car wants to become loose under deceleration or corner entry, I will try going one spring stiffer in the front before I go softer in the rear.

My starting point is black front green rear on a loose track. If I need more traction, I go to green fronts. If the car is really hooked up and wants to push on power, I will try my medium to high grip initial setup of green front, white rear. I generally don't go stiffer than green front. I will tend to go up a half weight or whole weight in oil in the front if the green front springs cause the car to get a little twitchy / over responsive in the front.

thanks guys for the info so ill get the soft sets of springs

For those running C hub/shaved U-brace, what would you say is best to try first with a low-medium grip track? No washers? 1mm washer?

Thanks!

so let me get this right....... you have this track within driving distance and you complain about your other one? You sir have lost ALL credibility

The indoor track is nice. The are other reasons I race the outdoor track. Distance is not an issue

I would give my left kidney for this track to be in Atlanta.

Now you all are just making me feel bad lol

It's more a preference thing in my opinion. Try them all. Start with big changes at first so you can see what effect it'll have.

These x2

I'd have a permanent pit there...

Ok thanks!!

+1 that track looks unreal!!

yeah, I am going to try and race there more often. That track would be great in making me a better driver. always technical and is harder than it looks. Plus a consistent surface all night for tuning.

Can anyone tell me what the AKA super soft would compare to in other brands? vs Proline M4, Panther Super soft, Hot Bodies Super soft etc?

I've been told AKA and panther are made in the same factory and are very close to the same compounds.

Any info would be great! Thanks!

If there was a reason to move to Tucson, Competition would be it.

You only get better with practice, but also the pic you chose did make all of us envious because it does look excellent.

I am running on a Med traction indoor track and run 3 Washers with shaved, and 1 washer with unshaved. They are both the same height.
