Default Springs...

Hello All

I am new to the Cyclone D4, just purchased a WCE edition from Stu on this forum. Very happy with it, but yet to race . I have a question about springs, what make do people use?

I think it has associated on it at the moment (green front & silver back), however they seem to rub on the thread of the shock.

I know Hot Bodies do their own springs, but i get the impression they are not the most popular choice.

I intend to race on a bumpy astro track so if anyone wanted to give suggestions for sping colours and oil wt that would be great to

Thanks in advance

Dave

i know when i ran mine, losi springs were the choice for the car and loads of people still use them now. not sure what the team now use tho or if there is a new range from hb ??

i used to have reds and pinks for the rear and greens and blues for the front for different conditions. im sure any of the main shops who are on here will either have them in stock or be able to find them for you

Thanks Mark, i have a complete set of HB springs coming thanks to Stu again. Will give these a go first and then go for the losi springs if i have no joy. It's quite a bumpy track and from what i have read the hb springs are quite soft so hoping they will work quite well

PS - have my first go on track today, was a bit damp but really pleased so far.
