Hi,

If you are using the nova shoes and those springs you will need this too

Read SJ's review on the shoes, he recommends this part too, I don't remember why but I think the hpi part doesnt quite fit together correctly.

Here is the link to his review, it is a very good review he tries just about, if not every, combination of adjustments possiable with this setup.

The mugen nut puts less of strain on the spring with the groove height moved. When I put my first set of mugen springs on I didn't change the nut and I busted two springs in five tanks and my nova shoes got crooked in the clutch bell and toasted them. I think it's due to the fact the mugen 1mm springs are so stiff that the extreme angle of the spring on the factory hpi nut is just too much for it too handle.

Correct. I've trashed many 1.0 springs using the HPI nut.

Yeah I got my springs and nut from amainhobbies. I picked up a heap of other stuff at the same time though but they have them. They are really cheap items and well worth it. I had a look at how the mugen springs would work on the hpi nut and as far as I could see, they wouldn't.

Here is a good example of what your springs should look like. This is actually a ofna nut (11mm long, hpi 8.5mm long) that I ground down to the exact length that I wanted that way I don't run any shims except for the steel spacer between the outer bearing and purple hellfire retainer. Notice how perpendicular the spring is not bent at all causing alot of unneeded strain on the spring. ofna part #http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXNUM6&P=7
