You saw that, LOL. I thought that was cool and unplanned.

I still say it'll never work.



j/k...lookin' really good!

[ROCKEDUP RICKY]

You might be right.



I thought I'd show how much clearance I ended up with after bending my links, this is at a full twist. And no spacer on the link mount ,which in turn gave me a little more steering room.

[ROCKEDUP RICKY]

Becky and I went a way for the weekend and I found a little time to crawl, 1st time on the rocks and I'm liking it. I'll get more up soon.

[ROCKEDUP RICKY]

I did notice the rear links got a little caught up on some pointed rocks on the edge of those undercuts. Might not happen very offend but I did a little more mods to the lower links. I rounded the bottom a little.



Before









After

[ROCKEDUP RICKY]

I got to go out to the test spot and see how she does. It's working pretty good, Being so light at 5.5 lbs is different for me. I might need a little weight up front or something.



Tell me what you think it needs and why.

[Manning]

It needs some Axial Lizard tires, and some memory foams.

That way the rest of us have a chance.

There you go with them pointers again.
No really ,didn't it look like it should have a little more weight to the front or less in the back, or maybe a stiffer spring in the rear.

It did alright ,but did you see how the tire keept wanting to come up and I had to drive it down.

[toyotax10]

boohoo.... yeah i saw it but, it's still better than 75% or more of whats out there. looks like alot of fun to drive.

[toyotax10]

zero torque twist is really cool to watch. never drove an moa(scared i'll have to build one).

[duuuuuuuude]

Told'ya it'd never work! I'll save you the heartache and take it off your hands for $50.


Lookin' good man, can't wait for you to kick my butt with it.

I agree that you might want a smidge more weight in the front.

Yeah, sometimes I can't help myself.

It did appear to drive pretty light. How much weight is in the front wheels, or how much front bias does it have?

If you are ever at one of our comps ,I'll let you drive mine.

I'll think about your offer. and I can't wait to kick your butt with it too.

I have no weight in the tires, I think I'm going to try and dail it in with the springs,shock oil and links before I add weight. I know I could add weight and make it work better. But if I can make it work better without the weight ,that would be a bonus.


Keep them pointers coming guys.

[ROCKEDUP RICKY]

Well I went out today and I made one change and it fixed it. It work better every where else too, but here a video of the same sidehill. I want to thank Joesbrusier for the tip. All I did is move my back link up one hole at the chassis and added a little squat. Still havn't added any weight and still at 5.5 lbs.

[duuuuuuuude]

I liked it better the other way. Looked more like a shafty.

[toyotax10]

upper or lower rear links?

Uppers. You tune shafties the same way. Great for getting rid of torque twist.

[klabeaume]

Hey Ricky, how's the rig been doing for you? Do you still like the way you did the lower links? I keep kicking the idea around of trying it on mine. I am guess it doesn't interfere with the steering. Thanks
