I have heard this works and have tried the acetone and it seems to be hit or miss. Wouldn't grinding the paint off would alter the spring rate? chemical removal is probably the best way.

What makes the K springs soooo tough to get all the paint off is, that they are not only powder coated, but they have primer underneath the paint as well. Here are mine though...

How did you polish them?

This is some real shizzzzzz for AE Springs . Kyosho I'll experiment with !

Those do look nice, but no way am I going to spend that much time worrying about what my springs look like

LMFAO!!!!

Stripped and polished springs. Bench racing at it's finest. You know your car is working right when the only thing you have left to do is bling out your shock springs.

Ok, so I'm taking a guess here. Associated will release a +8mm extended chassis after their supply of T4 chassis run out.

How many racers out there are gluing their servo savers? I've heard of this mod, but not exactly sure how popular it really is.

I always do.

oven cleaner def doesent do it... i even tried soaking them in it for @ days and nothing... and the were just reg green AE springs

Have you actually noticed a difference in handling and lap times?

I'm guessing a locked servo saver would be far more precise and possibly eliminate something I call "snap steer". Snap steer happens when the servo saver deflects and then suddenly snaps back into place, possibly causing erratic steering and making the rear end fish tail. Am I onto something here?

Stripped and polished springs are a part of every build. You have a $1000-$1200 rc car with a nice paint job on it, and your going to put "loud ass" colored springs on it? NAW!

Just got my RCRD aluminum +4mm t4.1 chassis yesterday, and although I haven't put everything on it yet, it looks SICK!!! the quality, and the finish, looks great! I can't wait to put my t4.1 together with this chassis, Thanks Brannon!

You guys must be great drivers if your concentrating on taking the paint of your springs!!!

Don't forget about the blue wires and the blue bleed screws.

be careful with the fumes with the paint removers, I was not. Kyosho springs only come out with a bench grinder with a wire brush, I tried aircraft paint remover, bullets , nothin worked.I paint mine red with paint for polycarbonate.
