183 Kph Through Massive Whoops! Ken Block Searching for The Limit of his Suspension

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Trophy Trucks need to handle some of the most extreme terrain and high speed abuse of any racing racing vehicle on the planet. The suspension set up plays a MASSIVE role in the effectiveness and performance in these trucks. In this episode, we are back in Plaster City, CA to do some shock testing with King Shocks. To aid in our R&D (and because its sick AF) we brought out some high speed cameras, and a shot over gimbal system mounted to a Ford Raptor. This way, you can see all of the suspension articulation and functionality of this truck in slow motion.

    Each bypass tube is set at a different level on the shock body so that when the shock piston starts to come up, each bypass is set harder and harder (higher pressure) so that the shock can move faster and more fluid at extension but becomes stiff enough at compression to soak up the big air landings . Also when those bump stops,,,,STOP working and max out, you feel it in the race car!! I rebuilt and tuned many Fox, King, Bilstein Blackhawks and procomp shocks for our team and for customers.. fun stuff. Working with those giant shocks most times takes 2 even 3 people LoL... Great vid guys, kick arse at the BaJa 1k....!
