The car is so light and short, philo is right it almost has to bounce off each hole to go thru them that fast. the amount of bump travel is a good question.F-150speed wrote:Maybe it's just me but does the spring rate seem a little stiff to anyone else? Based solely on what I saw in the video it seemed like it should have had another couple inches of bump travel. It kinda skipped across the top of everything like the spring rate is too high or the compression is too stiff. If was set up that way intentionally, can you explain why? I don't know jack squat about this kind of stuff, just trying to learn about something that seems different than what I think I know. Kudos on the amazing weld quality. If it wasn't for the color change in the haz I couldn't have been able to figure out where you started and stopped.
The chassis is very close to laying on the ground at bump, in fact the rear section of the car is about .25" ground clearance @ bump.
I cant answer your question completly, mabey someone else can. But what I can tell you is that I tuned on the bypass tubes till the car literally wouldnt go any faster. At the end of that day we had about .188"~ of not used shock shaft showing before the rubber bump pads on the fox shocks. So to me, that was about perfect for not getting out of control, and jumping the thing pretty good.
