Long Travel BS Thread

it in fact does sir



also if you read off road magazine it has all the specs in it

i think this was april 2012 issue, not to sure

 

hahahahaha! suck it dylan...

nah, i'd be more embarrassed if i actually cared...lol

 

Im sure there is somebody in here running a turbo or supercharger setup... so how bad is the axle wrap?

 

Replaced my P/S pump today.... so much better to have normal power steering again.

 

Axle wrap on SUA setups is extremely minimal if at all, and will only realy occur if you romp on it hard right off the line, so it's not realy an issue.

Jberry, Ocherp are two who both have S/C and both trucks are badass and mob awesome through the desert

 

amaes has a SC too

 

Thanks.

 

update for 1st gens:

Tim @ DMZ told me he should have time to start knocking out the first batch of motor and trans mounts in a few weeks (mid to late august). he's backed up on a lot of stuff right now but those are very high on his priority list

 

Sweet! I'll be in line for a set.

 

Awesome!

 

Tc yota has one with 7tha injector and pullys and headers and his runs good. Raced it in beehive classics. But now hes linking it haha. Lots of guys run s/c. Turbos suck alot of dirt in tho from what ive been told

 

I have one. Its not god awful but you will notice it on launch and 2nd gear 3rd - 5th nothing.

 

Maybe I missed it but did he give you a ballpark estimate on price? Thanks and good work on the updates!

 

negative. he didn't say anything about price

 

He is extremely backed up on stuff, my cousins truck was supposed to go in the shop end of may and he's still saying another week or two just so he can make room for it.

 

I'm running a sc on mine, I have pretty aggressive tires so the axle wrap can get pretty bad, I just have to make sure I don't launch to hard from first or second gear haha

 

Anyone ever done any offroading in Cal-City?

I wanna check it out, But dont even know where it is.. Its near Landcaster, right?

Me and Krish (RCfreak201) are trying to put together a run.. No decided place yet.. Anyone interested? Ideas?

 

try googling California City

I'd be down to check it out, but it better be worth it to drive to bum fuck Amir Egypt and back.

 

noob question:

what is the main purpose/benefits of having the spares in the bed? the original spot underneath in the way of travel? what about the orientation while it is in the bed? is it more for when launching to have the weight in the rear to keep it from going skyward?

 

because racecar

but seriously,
- If you are running larger tires, they dont fit in stock locations
- You need at least two spares if you are in the middle of no where and shredding through the dirt
- better weight distribution to rear suspension to keep the rear end stable
- Orient them so they are far back at the end of the bed but keep center of gravity as low as possible, so dual spares lying down at the end of the bed is a good strategy.
