I tried them, and did not like them. The engagement is too high, I installed a DDM 7500rpm spring, that works very good.

i keep them for spares. sometimes the 8k's break. i als swap them after some time. not really sure, but i would think they lose strength with the heat.. i like the 8k in my mt. nice and snappy, in my truggy i have treid the 8k and 7500, and since have reversed the clutch shoes for a smoother 7k..

i was shocked with the pipe/spring too. my first ramp i did all the alloy upgrades, 28.5 and a cheap X-can pipe.. i was happy.. my second ramp i only did one modifacation.. side dom pipe.. i nearly pissed my pants. the pipes are amazing.

I prefer the 7500 DDM springs after trying the hpi 8000's I also found the engagement too high for me
The warranty is awesome too, lifetime, you can't beat that.

in my opinion that pipe would have to make some real power, in my world things need to look like replica type stuff, if i had to run a pipe that ugly i would give up, but thats my opinion, thats what makes us all diff.
