I agree, I wasn't saying the shocks don't work, they very well might keep the same corner speed. I was saying there must more to the shocks other than magnets. There must be some special valving/pistons or something else to complement them. If they were magnets alone, I would have reservations on whether this would work as advertised.
1) Yes, there is special valving. See #2.
2) Compression and rebound can be set differently.
3) "Pack" is adjustable indpendently.
4) "Threshold" (I think that is what Tex called it) is independent of the other settings.
5) They are mechanically simple (no complex stuff to make failure more likely) and once you see how they work you'll understand adjusting them. Testing is still going on, they're working up a lot of data to help folks get setup right or very close to right initially.
A local racer that I used to run about equal with changed to an MBX6T with these shocks, (prototype versions) and now spanks me like a redheaded stepchild. I WANT SOME!

Off the top of my head... I'm pretty sure on one, and I think 2. There may be more. Sorry, the name of the first escapes me at the moment... but I think MAYBE Jason Branham is running them. Not sure, but I think so.

Don't know if Nick Vanderpool is still running them or not I'm sure he is.
He was in town last night at Indy with Tex and they were running the 808E and Nitro, so I'm sure they were running them last night on both cars for testing.
Forgot to ask Nick if he was headed to the MAW, but if he is I'm sure you will see them on his car unless he has stop running them.

Pics? - No pics at this time due to the change from prototype differences from actual production. Aslo due to the IP involved we would rather not. Expect this by the end of the month.
Price? - $79.99 per pair. They come in 95, 105, 115 and 125mm pairs.
Proof? - Can't offer you anything good here except if someone gets on that has run them during our preproduction phase.
Release date? - Late April to early may.
Its simple. If we deliver a shock that can do what we say it does then give it a try. If it does not do all of those things to offer you that adjustability then don't buy them. It just makes sense. I will not cry about it.
I have several patents and am involved in other industries. Stay tuned and hopefully you will be very pleased. I'm working hard for that.
