    Thanks for taking the time to explain. I was wondering when I saw you in Detroit.. One of our drivers ran his upside down and when I watched, it seemed like he had better traction on the downsides..

    Have you tried this on 1/8 e-buggy or nitro-buggy? Thanks

    I’m running the b6.4 and lose time in the corners and over the jumps. Have you get a set sheet I can go off for EOS carpet indoor.

    Would this work on 4x4 e-buggy?

    This is interesting. I know MX went to the "upside-down" (now considered normal) way to ensure the oil seals were always coated in oil to keep them smooth. I wonder how the dry O-rings will wear / feel over over time and race. Also, I wonder if this opens a conversations about people just running thicker oils / smaller pistons on non-ASC cars.

  • @ccurrivan
    @ccurrivan Жыл бұрын

    I wonder if the difference is related to the emulsion. Inverted, the piston is moving away from the air bubbles under compression, and should never reach them except at full droop. That might change the initial damping or make it less sensitive to how the air-oil mixture is shaken up after a landing.

    why the hell would you want to add unsprung weight. in every motorsport people go to great lengths to reduce it. how do the shocks work better with more unsprung weight?

  • @DoubleClutchProductions
    @DoubleClutchProductions Жыл бұрын

    Shocks have been run this way before you were born, 1986 Associated ran shocks upside down. I would bet this is more sprung vs unsprung than lower CG
