Obviously it depends on what track surface you race on, but I can't believe how many of you guys actually use the Tamiya white type springs - especially the red and yellow ones.

I have found these springs to be ridiculously soft - I run on loose, low grip dirt tracks and consider the red and yellow springs far too soft for even these conditions.

Remember the Durga (with nimh) is quite heavy, as are most modern 4wd's.

Out of Tamiya's white springs, I would only ever run the "blue" ones - and even then I'd be inclined to mount the shocks in the outer hole in the arms to stiffen them up somewhat.

I posted this on rctech but my current dirt-track setup is:

Front: kit 1.3 piston 35w oil with blue springs mounted in the outside hole on the arm. No internal limiters.

Rear: kit 1.4 piston 30w oil with kit Durga rear springs mounted in the outside hole on the arm. No internal limiters. Tamiya Blue swaybar used on rear.
