Anyone try the new TLR LF springs?

I think it would be a nice tuning option (similar rates to KYO). I know the old TLR springs has a slightly smaller diameter, and would not fit properly on the new AE BB cups and/or spring collars.

I have not seen a need to try them. the AE springs are pretty good. I like the shrink tube on the AE springs better than that cheap pain that flakes off. I am sure the springs are fine, just dont have the need.

I like the jc wings too and they last way longer on my 4wd buggy due to more control being 4wd.

has anyone tried these screws as replacements on the shock caps? Mine are in need of replacing and I wanna try these. I am unsure if the head is to big to fit in the recess.

Hey I just got the vision battery strap that is similar to all the other ones like the Yaiba one 4 to 5 inches long maybe less looks like a diamond shape and it does not slide under the rear shock tower.
When I looked at Hartsons stock setup he says to put the front of shorty pack forty milimeters from the front of the tray Im assuming.... If you do that with the battery strap i bought will barely be touching the pack just the front of the pack will held in. Is this right? I just want to make sure Im not missing something.
If this is correct then the new strap will not work. Please Chime in......

your missing the fact that people use the vision strap in conjunction with the esc shelf. And hartson didnt use an esc shelf.

Yea you need a full length strap. I cut my strap when I tried a shelf and was mad when I found out I needed to purchase another when I changed back. The strap wont sit streight it will pull down in the front and lift up from the back if you try using a shorter strap.

True, but most of the modified drivers all use long packs. The only time I have seen them run shortys is when they are in inline.

I was thinking the same thing .... both my b4 and sc10 fly very straight with inline setup and with esc in pod and receiver and matching weight in other pod.
