Hey man, I read yesterday on one of your posts to use the Traxxas 4146x spring. I went and bought one and it came with shoes. Then I read that you said not to use the shoes that come with it. Will they not work? and if not what do you recommend? Thanks man. Arlin.

Hope u don't mind me answering, I asked the same question.

They're too small ... they will not fit around the flywheel area correctly.

HPI A885 are good teflon shoes, adjustable stall rate.

HPI A886 what I have, are good teflon shoes and eliminate the spring all together with tension clips.

i use the stock shoes that come with the redcats, aluminum shoes are pretty good, they just need some maintaince, like sanding down the shard edges once in a while.

Or what he said I did that for a while

Nope dont mind at all mini! thanks though. I already bought the spring that ehroof talked about so im just gonna use it for now till it breaks again and then I think I'll try the A886 to see which I like better. Thanks ehroof for saving me again! I'm just gonna use the shoes that came with it like you said. Oh, I replaced the .16 that came with my tornado with a vx.18 Im very happy with the upgrade, my car RIPS now!

so you like it, im glad to hear that.

im gonna be breaking in my OS for about a mnth. look and sounds good for now.
