Hey guys,
Trying to get my SC104x4 ready for the track now that it is finally almost open (yay long winters followed by lots of rain!!)
Any suggestions to help with the issue described below will be greatly appreciated!
Current layout is the same as the end of last year, and I loved my truck through 90% of the track, but the middle rhythm section was killing me. Coming into the first jump, you could hear my truck slap the face of the jump and then again on the landing. which would cause me to lose a ton of speed, and the truck just would not fly consistently.
I currently have (Front/rear):
blue front spring/blue rear spring,
30/25 AE oils, emulsion with almost zero rebound (I see bladders with no bleed screw is recommended....may have to order some new bladders....)
24/23mm ride height
I'm running almost everything else stock (no added weight, no exotek chassis, just garodiscs and dual-stage pistons bought in 2011), but I do have a 550, RX8, and heavy Reedy batteries. Total truck weight, ready to race, is 2870g, and from a crude measurement, I've got about a 44/56 front/rear weight distribution....(that seems excessive, even for this truck, yes?)
Here's our track, and I've got the video set up to start right when the lead truggy comes into the rhythm section....it's kind of a double double double, but it's the first double that kills me. I don't seem to have trouble on any of the other jumps that seem just as steep....
Sorry I don't have any video of me on the track....we've been rained out since the snow left.... If we get a practice night this week, I'll get someone to record my truck....
