    And this is stock control arms on @DZNUTS truck hitting the same trail.

    https://youtu.be/CX-YEBj36o4

    Notice how the control arms move relative to the frame. You can also see the difference in shock valving between a nice emulsion shock and the RR king in the way his wheels are shaking under the small bumps.

    That's a very cool experiment and comparison, thanks :thumbsup:
    I ran my truck at over 20 mph on green trail 12 (no puddles), it was a surprisingly smooth ride. I had a passenger with me, he was quite surprised as well! (I'd say blown away, but I try to be modest, lol)

    Our trucks go alot faster than most people think. The real limiting factor for speed is turning and hitting big enough drops that they becibe jumps.

    I wish I had known about plastic guy stops, I'd probably try them instead of my rear Timbrens (no complaints, just saying).
    Now I might actually look into front stops....

    Never saw Seb hyperventilating.

    That’s a definite sign of improvement right there.

    Even managed to leave Lloyd behind and getting him lost for a moment ... (my bad Lloyd). That's how much fun I had! :D

    Mark @Redmann, thanks for your help and putting up with me :thumbsup:

    Tire pressure was the same (deflated with the same auto-deflators) so the difference is in the tire and the weight of the truck.
