|  Firm Springs? Just got mine and find out that I got a set of super firm spring (blue ax30217) in my scorpion. Do you have the same set of spring as mine? I thought that they will give us a medium one. Any idea? |

| Alot of guys run Axial whites (soft) and axial green (medium) in the rear with stock pistons and 30wt oil works pretty good  |

| I spent Christmas trying springs. Personal preference plays some role in selection, but I also found the greens in the rear worked best. I tried whites up front, was okay, I tried Traxxas red springs and I liked that the best. I also limited the shock travel 10mm front/rear with inner spacers. Seems to work much better in general. |

| I have been doing a bunch of searching, and some are running a firmer spring in the left rear to help with the dreaded torque twist. Any thoughts? |

For very cheap you can try for yourself, or maybe someone that has tried it will chime in. I use all Axial green coded springs on mine, softer than the kit supplied, and no preload spacers. Put the limiter on the inside, and I used fuel tubing of some length on the outside, could actually be the same size as the kit's limiter, I don't like a lot of flex. But the real trick is the upper links on the TCS Boomerang. Using the same spring rate on both sides makes for a well balanced truck. | |

I have read a few of your write up's. I did think of building my own boomawrang to try out. Right now I have done the CKCC conversion, and I flipped my trans back to stock. so I still have some testing to do. Thanks so much for the info. | |

| thanks eepee I think I'll try this too I converted the front to 4 link by drilling holes on the very edge of the stock servo plate & fitting the rod ends underneath between the axle & servo plate, just had to put a small washer under each screw for a little extra clearance. It works great, anyone else done it this way? I'll use the extra servo plate for the rear & do the same thing Mounting the links like that doesn't make the rear end walk around funny or anything? |

| Nope, nothing funny happens. Nothing noticeable anyways. |

| I'm running the axial red springs all around with 60 wt oil in all excet the left rear. I have 100 wt in the left rear with a med spacerto combat torque twist. I also have the boomerang and spacer in the shock bodys to lower the CoG. Works well for me. |
