That would be my best guess.

The sheet stated that he was running AE green springs but the pics I saw appeared to show K springs. The preload collar is higher up on the shock body.

They were K-springs. You didn't really think they would divulge all there secrets. I learned a long time ago from a current top five driver that they don't share all on setup sheets. I was surprised they admitted to using K-springs.

Hmm yeah it does look like K springs on the back, and not AE springs. Wonder what color rear K springs he was using if that is what they defenitely are.

That's green in back. They're making them solid silver cause they think their spring colors are ugly. That's why the front spring is silver even though it's kyosho dark yellow.

Based on his soft setting for damping, I would guess dark yellow like the front.

A dark yellow rear K spring is almost like a AE gray....right??

They stripped the springs because there not AE.

No. A Dark yellow is at 1.97

AE Green is at 1.9
AE silver is at 2.1

So it's close to inbetween.

Gray is listed at 2.33

That is not a AE spring on the rear, there is barely any preload on the spring. Unless this is AE's version of K springs they were testing???

That is the same amount of preload I run to get 24mm with ae springs. You would run even less preload with kyosho springs in back just to get 25mm. If you notice, the spring has a tight fit circumference wise. Kyosho springs are a little fatter and taller. I'm not trying to hide secrets. I'm seriously.

I'm seriously too!

Your wrong.

Right on . Thanks for the reply . This is such a great thread . For a great buggy . Great information to keep the buggy competitive for the serious racer!!

Seems to be a difference of opinion on where to put the holes . Wheels vs Tires . I spoke with several Pro's at the track today . Most have holes in the wheels . I put 2 holes in each wheel . The lumps came right out of the front tires as soon as I made the holes . So I am good to go .

I have holes in all my SC truck wheels . The idea being to prevent the tire from ballooning and create/keep a larger contact patch with the track surface .

Was not sure if that was needed with the little front buggy tires , but I guess it is .

I am running the red AKA foams in the rear with proline suburbs and proline foams in the front with proline scrubs tires .


I bought a LRP SXX stock spec speedo yesterday . Ran it today . Holy Shit !!! What an awesome speedo . Makes my old Novak Havoc Pro feel like donkey dung . It is so smooth . The braking and the speed are amazing !!!! I really feel like I am going to do well racing this buggy .

I just had a couple questions about the diff bearings, etc. I dont have my car with me atm, and I was wondering the width of the bearings in the diff, etc.

ASC9832 - 10mm x 16mm x ????

ASC3977 - 3/16" x 3/8" x ????

I have guesses for the two, but I just wanted to make sure before I ordered replacements.
