as far as i know, they only had 2 different springs...... yellow (soft), and chrome (stiffer than the yellow - think they called them medium springs). i've never seen a "hard" pair of rpm worlds springs.

also, they only made the springs for the front shocks. their worlds conversion required you to cut 2-3 coils off of a standard associated front truck spring (1.02 shocks). the rpm spring..... that step is already taken care of.

OK, so I'm pretty close to getting this finished up. The only thing I dont like is the wing. I'm actively looking for a molded plastic wing that acutally looks halfway decent. But yeah..here it is. Its taken me what seems like forever to piece it all together and I still have to solder up my hobbywing esc and motor. I'm kind of scared to drive it at this point, afraid to break something I cant replace. I bought a set of black RPM front arms to switch to when I do run it.

looks very nice, I would have a rough time running it myself.
If you bought the currently available RPM arms they should be a different length then the ones on there now.

Nice! On a side note, did RPM make caster and steering blocks for rc10/t's?

Yup, they made the "steering enhancement kit" for the RC10 and s different one for the RC10T and they made steering knuckles for the RC10 that are completely different from the above-

Those look like a white version of the steering hubs on the Losi LXT.

Are the carriers the same on the rpm steering kits for the buggy and 10t? Whats the difference between the 2?
If things seem under control, you are just not going fast enough.

The 10t steering arm is longer than the 10's, the caster blocks are the same-
