M10 on an RTX

[energeezer]

Anyone dump their Pro Action for an M10 on an RTX?
Just wondering what your impressions are after the switch?
I have a chance to get a great deal on an M10.

Went with an M10 on an XCR. Lesson learned - M10 is not, and never will be, a suspension to put under a performance sled. You loose anything close to what might be called a holeshot. NO weight transfer compared to even the stock suspension. In addition, you loose 2-5 mph up on top end. To be honest, it does ride nice. Performance oriented support from FAST non existant. After a couple thousand miles, decided that the price I was paying for that ride was too much.... Just me.

I agree with ahicks. It's not good for racing. I put one in my rxwarrior. I loved it. But I'm not drag racing all the time. I rather be able to go ripping down a beat up trail for 10 miles and rarely have to stand up than to win a short race. I took the m-10 out of my warrior when I got rid of it. I'm going to put it in my Attak GT some time this summer.
It just depends on what's important to you.

I had an M10 in my srx, it was a huge pain in the butt.

Ride was great, but killed my low end and top end.

I did that with the bigger spring. It was ALOT better than stock, compression was really good, but I cant get the rebound to work as well as the m-10.
I'm open for suggestions before I change out the stock one. I am a little hesitant about switching over because you have to enlarge the front mounting holes to install the m-10. After that there's no going back.

Wow
This is a surprise. not what I expected to hear. Glad I asked.
I'll revalve and address my hyfax and idler wheel destruction issues instead.

Mucho Gracias
