I think im right in saying they are similar to x gear yellow front red rears.

Mr Eccleston 28-09-2012 05:24 PM

Do you mean they are the same or are they a different spring from the yellow and red?

hello,

I asked to Kyosho France, here is the answer I received:

" Kit springs do not exist in the same range XGear. The front is close to the XGS Yellow (Hard), so rather hard. The rear is between the Red (Medium Hard) and Gold."

Mr Eccleston 29-09-2012 06:37 AM

Thanks. Do you know if the fronts are harder or softer than the yellow's.

Front spring is so close to X-gear yellow it makes no difference

Rear spring is about halfway between a red and a gold

Just to throw the cat amongst the shock springs Rog, are the stock BB correct for those who are using them on DB1? How do they compare to what you have used in the past on BB with DB1 mate? :)

Thanks as always Roger.

Stu, I didn't do enough on bb shocks with DB1 to give definitive answer, would probably start with Orange fronts (maybe yellows) and white or gold rears.
