Tamiya and AE springs

[Toonz]

which tamiya springs have the closest match to the AE green and silver springs?

i've seen some of you guys use the AE green and silver on the durga. i don't have any AE springs except for the DF03 gold/silver/black and 501/db01 spring sets (red/blue/yellow dots)

is there a close match in the spring rates?

Sounds like Tamiya yellow front and red rear are the springs you are looking for.

Tamiya Front Buggy Springs [lb/in]
DB01 4.35
Blue3.80
Yellow3.58
Red3.17

Tamiya Rear Buggy Springs [lb/in]
DB01 2.43
Blue2.02
Yellow1.84
Red1.77

and all the AE springs are here.
http://www.teamassociated.com/racerh...rate_chart.htm

so AE green fronts are 3.50, which is close to tamiya yellow.
and AE silver is 2.10, which is close to tamiya blue

Ling, thank you for the post! Do you know the spring rate for the standard 501X kit springs?

If I remember right, they are not labeled with any paint color markings, like the option spring kit (red, yellow, blue).
