Default shock idea

on the mini-t the shocks have that white spacerer thing thats supost to make friction and act like oil filed. instead of that spacer put in a soft little spring in there and it should get rid of some of the pogo. i dont have a mini-t yet so somone whos open for ideas could try this and see if this works.

good idea (real good) but does the mini-t shock have that extra room in the shock housing for another spring?

the kind of springs that go around the kingpin for the front axel mount. i forgot how small they were but that just gives me more confidence in you're idea.

yes those kind. there are difrent kinds though.you would need to use the long and skiny kind. this one is long and you would have to cut it in half.
