Configuration of canisters on a Titan arm with fewer than four units
What the thread found
- When operating a Titan arm with only two canisters, they should be placed diagonally opposite to each other rather than both aligned vertically
- A recommended configuration places the blue canister in the upper arm section at the top and the black canister at the bottom, then reverses this in the lower arm section with black at top and blue at bottom
- This diagonal opposing arrangement applies whether using two canisters of the same type or mixing different spring types
Depends on
- The optimal configuration may vary depending on specific setup requirements
- Guidance from multiple sources suggests there is a standard practice, but individual arm configurations might differ
