The spring that hold the pipe and does not let the pipe hit the fuel tank. The one that comes with the XT8 kit is it to short. Which one is a good one but it needs to be longer.. Thanks |

If you are talking about the short piece of wire that holds the end of the pipe to the chassis, I made one out of a section of coat hanger. |

Yes that what I am talking about. Does the coat hanger hold up to hits?? |

So far... I dont know that it's really been hit though-the pipe is pretty well protected on the EC inside of the plastic side board things. In the past I used some steel piano wire from the LHS, probably a little stronger than the coat hanger. |

Out of all of the little non-used allen wrenches I have, I just picked one that was the right length and size, gave it a little 45 deg bend to clear the tank and mounted it up. It's been on the truck since day one and has not snapped off or bent a pipe mount. Nice spring steel that is flexible enough to allow some give without snapping. I bought one of the GMK mounts but the wire was to thick and the thing was really stiff. I was more worried that the coil end wouldnt allow enough give and end up breaking something. Basically all it is, is a Dubro front wheel strut for a RC airplane, that has been bent to be used as a muffler hanger. Spotted this awhie back, it acctually looks like it might work quite well, the wire is thin enough and there is more of a dampening action. http://www.redrc.net/2007/10/orcan-exha ... nt-spring/ |
