Hi. I can highly recommend the new LRP hard, (Blue) spring set: i had been using Yokomo Medium front springs to get it to launch from the ramps, but they proved too stiff, and slightly too small in diameter. I fitted a set of new blue springs last weekend for the regionals at eastrax, and they were spot on!!!. Also, the LRP wheel hexes are great value.
Essentially, keep a spare front shock tower in; they don't like the big landings, but they aren't too expensive either

. Oh, and i use 3Racing Lazer ZX steering knuckles indoors, as our drainpipe tends to rip out the plastic ones!!!, (Hmm, it could just be my driving that one??

.).
