I would like to use leaf springs in my next build. Were do I get ones that are not to stiff? Also can I get them with the shackles? Other than the Bruiser what trucks have come with them? I was told that the Juggernaut did but that those are to stiff, is this true?

Pretty much all the leafs on tamiya trucks are the same. And I think they where the only ones to use them. Yes the leafs are stiff but I found after I ran mine for a bit they did flex alot more than I thought they would.

All that being said, I'm pretty new to this hobby so........:?

Best bet is to get some juggys and remove all the leafs but the main leaf, thats what I am doing on my Trekker, its still a tid bit stiff but I am hoping they will work better once there is some wieght in the truck

I can't tell you much about the springs, but I seen that Gardentrucking.com has some springs also.. Not sure if they are still as stiff as juggy springs or if they are ven as long as them. I just came across them today..

I'm not sure about stainless leafs :? I've worked with stainless lots over the years and it doesn't strike me as haveing any memory when it comes to flex. I think they might be more show than go.:?
