guinness · #1 29-10-2011

my used 201 came with some tamy springs,
front: green,red,black
rear: red

what is the stiffness of the springs? i noticed that car like the 501/511 have same color. is there a difference between the two sets.
im trying to understand if my springs are the one from the 501 or the 201.
hope im clear lol

thanx

I bought the 501x springs for my 201 (53974 & 53975). These are marked as red, yellow and blue (soft to stiff) for both front and rear.

i'm pretty sure the 201 front spring set (54221) includes brown, black and green springs... So not sure what ones you have...

Perhaps this spring chart can help you? http://www.petitrc.com/reglages/BuggySpringChart.pdf

so seems that the front spring of the 201 are different then the rest.
brown 201 2.63lb brown 501 2.80lb
black 201 2.84lb black 501 2.90lb

cannot find the lb of the front yellow or blue springs.

Stock rear uprights are indeed 0 degree, i find running 0.5 or 1 degree settles the back down and keeps it in check (i.e, stops it coming around on and off power)
