springs

[kdfi]

Can anybody tell me if they have used and what they think of the Ramtech springs? I am currently running the upgrade kit springs on HD HPI shocks. Are the Ramtechs night and day compared to the ramp upgrade kit springs?


I run at a local bmx style track. Are the Ramtechs more for the MT rather than a TT5?

I am running Ramtech 20% springs, they are awsome, my first upgrade.

I'm running Ramtech up front and upgrade springs in the rear. I have the Ramtechs for the rear but removed them because they rebound too quick for my tastes. It was causing to many nose dives off jumps. I'm only running 40wt in the rear though.

hey guys do the ramtech spring 20% springs fit right on the stock rampage piggy back shocks or does it have to be moded

 

[Obeast44]

Ya they work with the Piggybacks

would u recomend then to prevent my mt pro heavy pig from squating in the back

the ramtechs are stiffer, better for the mt or catching air. if your on a bmx track ramtech +20's and 50 or 60 wt oil might be a good idea.


my all alum pig has ramtech +20 springs and 40wt all around and works great.








my tt runs upgrade kit springs and 40 frt / 50 rear shock oil, also works well.





sorry I just like to thro the pics out every chance I get...

what oil weight does the mt pro comes with and do u think i should be ok with only changing the springs and leaving the factory oil in then i don't really or plan on jumping it

I don't know what is stock, but I would recommend some good quailty shock oil, like hpi or so... it's not hard to replace and if your going as far as the springs might as well change the oil.

hey ron i was in davesmotors website and i saw the ramtech but they have fronts and backs witch one should i get 2 pairs of backs for 14.00 or 2 pairs of front at 13.00 is there a difference

The rears are what you are looking for.

 

[berto1230781]

[berto1230781]

looks like you need to get those trucks out of the house and get um dirty there to clean for me

 

[Obeast44]

Oh he runs them. But I am willing to bet the boss lady makes sure they are clean before they come back in. At least thats how it is around my house

I run em all, just clean them well after each use... part of the fun for me and cleaning them is a good time to check for damage. plus I just can't help it.

 

[max 1]

i hear ya there ron e. thats the fun .

 

[berto1230781]

just got the ramtech springs for my mt i have noticed that they are i would say 1/2 shorter then stock now should i turn down the retaining ring down and how much should i turn it down enough so that the spring has no play???? i'm planing on replacing the oil too with hpi 40wt all around
