Also the roll was way less with the white ft, good for the sweeper & higher speed turns , but bad for sharp turns on the infield as you get a bit less steering .


If I were you ?

Try the yellows again & compare the times .

That's what I did and discovered the spring that was faster for me ...
i def would do that, I really liked the white, BUT
I had the NON-ft setup, I am now rebuilding with the Exotek,
Saddles, & most FT upgrades....

So, with the extra weight, some people were saying that, instead
of White F, in the rear, they were going with(I thought green?)
Maybe it was blue or yellow?

Eh, ok.. I just got a follow-up email saying to disregard that first mail, the FT does actually come with all fronts (91040) on purpose.

@jpure: You can do what I did.. sand down the 8mm ballstud a bit and it will fit fine.

OK,
so to summarize, I need less then 8MM,
- 6MM OR Sand down a MM or so.?.

I was thinking about upgrading to the FT tin B.studs? worth it?
was just about to hit up AMAIN..
-6mm FT tin BtudsS
-10mm FT tin B.studs(for 8mm mod)
**What about the bushings, is that the upgraded bushings??
91122 FT Hard Anodized Bushing, worth it?
--In the process of FT rebuild now

Go with a 12mm stud for the 8mm mod, or you will not be able to fit more than ~5mm of spacers.
I didn't sand down 2mm, just a little bit.. maybe 1mm or so.

I have mine in the forward position so if the rear is hitting that may be the difference.

@coyoteslash: you can add this to the motors:

Tenshock sc401 4600kV:
Fits perfectly, comes with holes for m3 and m4 screw, i would recommend a 32dp pinion beetween 11 and 15 (depends on your local track) with 5mm hole.

The consensus is blue front with the exotek if you want to run a front spring in the rear.
