Long Travel BS Thread

ya no way im goin 4in, either 3, or 2.5

 

if you got the 3 inch, could you modify it to 2.5 if it was to long?

 

ya but i wouldnt bother, its only .5in difference.

 

Actually 0.5" is a big difference when your bumps are bumping off the LCA. As it amounts to a significant change at the wheel. 1.25"-1.5" (can go as long as 2") is typically the length you want when bumping inboard off the LCA and not be in bump for all of the uptravel.

 

#gotbypassesanyone???

 

ask erik what length he ran his, then if you want to change it, go right ahead. thats what i would do if i was in your position.

 

What length straps are you guys running in the rear typically?

 

Mine are 4" shorted down to a 2.5". I did this so when I upgrade to a new kit and bump off the upper, I can lengthen it back out to 4. I have mine as far out on the lower as possible so it does not ride on bump. Works perfect.

 

and in raptor news! just ran into these vids. good to see at the end of the second vid the driver is totally ok!

ive only seen my Rc car do that before..

Colorado sand car. Not a TT. But dam, that thing snapped in half!

 

That kit is a full fab spindle right, why not bump off the upper and get 4's

 

Doesn't want to bottom out bump stops...

 

Its actually an old Pro2 truck. Thing has taken a ton of abuse over the last two years. But its definetly fun to watch.
