      Just had my replacement spring from Sahaj and it has transformed my warthog stick I have tried regreasing and sanding down the burs left by the moulding plastics in side the gimbals
      and used marine grease but always felt like a lot of force was needed to move the stick,down to the stock spring with this new spring the stick now feel’s fabulous I highly recommend
      to every one who use the warthog to have a look at his site as he has lots of extensions as well as springs and a o ring replacement.

            Mine arrived yesterday and had no time to mount it jet. Just a question: do I need to grease the new onee or I can put it as it is?

                  A german saying goes: " Wer gut schmiert, lebt länger " ! –> (transl: " Someone who greases well lives longer ".)

                  Take a lot, it cannot harm and your Warthog will last for 100 years at least 😄

                    Just got mine (green spring) the other day and gotta say it’s awesome. I think it should have been the spring TM originally shipped.

                    I did have to re-calibrate using the TM joystick re-calibration tool ver 1.13 but after that it was dead center again. I greased mine as well before installing.

                        interesting. looking forward to your verdict after some usage.
                        so far, i am not too happy with my warthog/warBRD combo, because the stick keeps oscillating with every movement/input i make.

                                Ye I’m having the same problem just waiting for my T50 grip to arrive I think it’s 2/3 lighter than the hog grip

                                  There is a lot less oscillation with the t50cm2 grip and more fine control due to the extra 2 inches from the base compared to the warthog grip,And I am using table mounts for the base as well
