Default RE: OFFICIAL Team Losi Micro-T thread !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

desert, thanks for the kind words. LBRC is indeed a huge asset, and brings much to this thread. i too am thankful!!!

as for the springs, one way you can increase the tension is to simply stretch them out. but you have to be careful since they are not a progressive spring, they could be over stretched easily.

my rule of thumb is to try to measure the lenght of the spring, then stretch it to double that. then, the spring will go back to it's (new) length once let go, which should yield a ~ 25% increase in standing length. this increase will translate into more tension on the spring once installed.
