racer,
Send me an e-mail or PM. I have damper tubes that I offer for the Quad12 kits that are very similar.

D.P.

Those look like the old Bolink tubes. SpeedMerchant makes tubes that are real close to those I think.

Those damper tubes are not bolink, CRC, speedmerchant or IRS. They look like IRS ones with aluminuim plungers, kinda wierd. If you need a new set of tubes pick up whatever brand you please and stick em on there, it really doesnt make a difference.

racer-They are made by Tech Racing and sell for $35 US. Not cheap. I know because I used to run their TC. If you really want a set send me a pm and I will order some. I would just stick with the CRC or Speedmerchant in case you break them.

For those that are interested...

Got some track time with the new Speedmerchant Rev4 today. Other than having to tape the batteries in, the car has some welcome changes. I noticed quite a bit of increased rear bite (no more losing traction at 6 mins!) and the car seemed to transition better, and had great cut. Overall, much more drivable, stable, solid car. My lap times were as good as or better than with the Rev 3 (and the track was SLOW today)

I dropped my Rev 3 setup right on it, but ended up with some stiffer side springs after a couple runs; to get the back end to rotate more in the corner.

See ya

Got to run my Rev 4 today on carpet at the TN state champs. Pretty good for the first time running it. TQd and won the main. Car was pretty good out of the box. About the only thing I changed all day was stiffer side springs. THinking back now I wish I had tried stiffer front springs as the car was turning pretty hard all day. Maybe next week!

not to burst your bubble EA but I would like to point out that my two year old worn out ragity CRC Carpet Knife had faster lap times in the main and in stock 2 tenths is killer. I guess doing that with with no sponsers is doing pretty good. Just wish traffic would a been a little nicer to me after I got punted on the first corner and second lap and fought back from 7th to 2nd.
