double = 2 bypass tubes

triple = 3 bypass tubes

someone got hydrolocked

 

a family friend of mine is the paid driver for local motors to race the rally fighter in all the desert races and the one there driving in this video is his actual race vehicle that they seiced the engine on and the stock one doesent have the tire rack on the back or cage and the guy they called the mechanic is him his name is buddy. this is to funny he showed me all the cell phone videos of this when he got back lol

 

dang thats pretty cool. i want to know what it has for suspension, it doesnt look like it has by passes right?

 

They've sold 30 of those? Wow.http://www.rallyfighter.com/

 

no clue. clicked about in the video for a suspension breakdown and was never given one. douche's. however... bypasses arnt always needed. on a race vehicle, yes, its a VERY good idea, but for people building toys, a bypass isnt needed. normally you use a bypass along with a coilover just to split the valving and help keep the shocks from fading. i personally ran some on my last truck, will be running some on this truck as well eventually... but as for a mostly dd/ weekend toy, just get some smooth bodies, valve them properly, and have some fun with all the extra money you have in your pocket because you didnt waste it all on bypasses.

 

yeah it doesnt say shit on suspension. thats retarted, you would think it would give more specs.

yeah i know bypasses arent needed, but when driving like that it should have them hah. it pretty much helps keep the oil cool for longer.

ill be running some on my truck in the future. probably doubles in the front, but that will be my last step probably.

 

here it says the CO's are internal bypass... also they are triple rate and it's got air bumps too

I was at Local Motors last night. They do an event once a month and you can go in the shop and they drive one around on the dirt lot behind the building. They are cool looking but they don't preform like they were intended. Also I have a friend the worked there and he said they would always have Quality control issues. Cool concept though.

 

No bypasses just king co's and bump stops its a custom a ARM set up with uni ball upper and lower performance wise its amazing the driver took me for a ride in the race one around riverside one day jumping train tracks and smoking the tires at every intersection lol its got tons of power

 

in the link matt posted they have fox cos 2 inch air bumps. but the coilovers have internal bypasses

 

that car is siick, would prolly make raptor buyers feel even more silly getting shown up by a rally car.

 

I think I posted this in tw live or something..this is my cousins bf. I dont think its long travel, but the video above reminded me of it
