Springs set #54797 length

[skom25]

Hi,

Any owners of #54797 springs set?

I need information about spring length. Are they 26 mm or shorter?

I don't own them myself, but the dealer I trust says ca 23mm:

Those are touring car springs and should be able to fit the super mini CVA and other shocks set up for on road cars.

Sorry I don't have measurements, but I have spare different touring car springs that fit the same application. 

What do you need the springs for? It might help if you let us know.

They measure 26mm indeed.

Do you have direct comparison to red/ yellow/ blue/ white from Hard On Road set? I mean stiffness.

I am bit surprised that they are 26 mm long.

I got my part numbers wrong. You know, when you ask Google for 53797 and it diligently shows you 53440 in hopes they you will buy them. Sigh.

So the set I have is the good old 53440 with 4 stiffnesses and that's 26mm.

The 53797 that Tamiya called 'II' I have no idea about the length. It's possible that they made the new set shorter as this is the trend in TC to go shorter and shorter? Makes sense with @chris.alex's input as well.

The stiffness is probably self-explanatory per Tamiya's description (new intermediate stiffness compared to the old set and labeled as super hard, medium hard and medium soft) although as I found out with rally springs stiffness is not always what makes sense or what is claimed.

I will not start new Topic to ask about this, as you mentioned #53440 set.

Do you think it is worth to buy second set and start with the same springs on both axles or mix is always better in TT-02?

Well my current car is using the rally set, 53163 (I triple checked the part numbers, lol!) and I use yellow dot front, blue dot rear so I won't really recommend the 53440 set that I used to run. But it does seem like softer front than rear helps with steering as I verified with Lapmonitor 😃 so it's fairly safe say that you'll end up with different springs front vs. rear. Maybe red front, yellow rear is going to work for you.

I suppose you never bought the TT-02 super mini CVA's then? The springs that come with those are actually very good.

[skom25]

Thank you!

Unfortunately not, this is why I never had a chance to try the same springs.

I am curious how Rally Set compares to XV-01 set.

I made a post about just that subject in the building tips forum.

[Pylon80]

Found it @skom25:

I would venture that silver rear, gold front would be on the money, if you have that set already.

[skom25]

Thanks! I have not seen that Topic!

BTW: it is first time when I see than Tamiya changed product, but did not change #.

I wonder if my LHS has new or old version.

Shall we discuss how many turns in various sport tuned motors sharing the same part number? 😜

[skom25]

Yeah, I forgot mighty Sport Tuned
