Hi using a 450 x 2.75 Manitou Ti spring (with no funky spacers). Note I'm running a DHX RC4 which (I think) the piggyback is slightly further away than a DHX 5.0. So far there are no rub marks... on the piggybackhitman261 said:rogue what lb spring are you using?
Very cool. I ordered a 500 x 2.75. Hopefully it'll be OK.rogue said:Hi using a 450 x 2.75 Manitou Ti spring (with no funky spacers). Note I'm running a DHX RC4 which (I think) the piggyback is slightly further away than a DHX 5.0. So far there are no rub marks... on the piggyback
You're right, the Manitou is a 2.75, missed that, but I suppose if they did make a 2.5 it would be priced similarly.gticlay said:It's not a hijack and I'm not sensitive to those really... there isn't really a difference. DSP has some cycle testing stuff on their website and they are very long lasting. The Manitou will perform as well. I don't think they have a 2.5 for $99, just the 2.75 unless I missed that.
I'm not sure why the free length is so much shorter than yours, unless it's a factor of 550lb vs 450lb rate, but it's what came with my Nomad Mk2.gticlay said:FOX 550lb x 2.80" Steel:
1.385" ID (35.17mm)
2.100" OD (53.33mm)
Manitou 500lb x 2.75" Ti:
1.437" ID (36.5mm)
2.218" OD (56.3mm)
The difference in freelength is only .15" or about 3mm. (149mm vs 152mm). Not sure why Verminitrex's free length is so short!

Dunno, but my 550 is at least 1/4" taller than my 500lb. Also, you'll have to stay away from DSP and Obtainium if you don't like the Manitou dimensions. I guess Renton's?vermintrex said:I'm not sure why the free length is so much shorter than yours, unless it's a factor of 550lb vs 450lb rate, but it's what came with my Nomad Mk2.
Anyway, thanks for the info and please let us know if you experience any contact between the spring and the piggyback on your RC4 !
