I received my set of Tamiya BB springs the other day and compared them to my new TLR 22 Low Frequency springs - they are very similar in length. This was my biggest issue as most know that typical rear springs (AE, TLR) are around 2.75" long - too long to get a Tamiya 4WD rear end down to a normal ride height. The only alternativer was to cut the spring down by one or two coils - which I hated doing, they never seemed to sit right. I have been running TLR front springs in the front of my 511, and TLR 22T front springs in the rear of my 511. I do run TLR big bores shocks, but it made no difference with TRF Aeration shocks (std bore) or not - the 2.75" long springs we always too long. So, all this to say, the new TLR springs are 2.5", the same as the new Tamiya BB springs - so if you'd prefer a more common measurement for your spring rates - use TLR's LF BB springs!

Big bore spring rates
Don't know if its just me but I'm struggling to find out what the new TRF spring rates are in Lb's? & how they compare to the Losi springs.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've put a Losi pink on the rear (2.3 Lb) until I get the TRF springs but would like to know how they compare to ie the TRF big bore white? Anyone any ideas? |

Anyone has figured out the spring rates already?
I need a 2.5 lb/in rear spring (wild guess: yellow?) and a 4.2 lb/in front spring (wild guess: blue?) for indoor racing. |

For example: Rear, hard spring, .42x5.71=2.40lbs My best guess anyhow. |
