Title: Changing the main spring in a warthog
Post by: Eagler on October 12, 2025, 02:50:52 PM

The warthog I have in the camper is much harder to use than the one at home due to its stiffness..

harder to be precise..

I don't use an extension..

There's a variety of different color springs on ebay..

Anyone here have experience in swapping out the spring? Which one is the correct one?

Thanks for any information...  :joystick:

I've always read that green is softer than stick and used without extension.

This vid shows the swapping procedure:

Yes it is the green spring you want.

He is who I got mine from. Easy to deal with. The first one he sent got lost in shipping and when I contacted him he sent out a new one right away and I got it right away.

Very easy to swap out.

I added an extension to mine. Made it much easier to use.

An extension gives more movement on travel at top stick and less touchy in accuracy

If you have a 3D printer there are a lot of free plans for extenders. You still need an extender cable though. Should be cheap.
