On the recommended outdoor setup, is that taper up or down for the rear shocks? It is cutoff in the setup sheet.

I have question i have not been able to figure out for over a year.
My eb48.3 bounces on hard landings. My track is rough but has no landing ramps off jumps so it slaps hard and gets out of shape. 4x1.8 pistons 475cst pt oil.
I dont remember my 48.2 doing this.
Any ideas i guess i need more pack? The rough track is another concern.
My et48 is perfect by the way. No slapping at all

Taper down, with emulsion we have been running them down. Also please check our latest outdoor setup. There was a typo on the rear spring part #.

First and easiest thing I would recommend is more droop. Second is to use our 3x2.1 pistons with 600cst oil in front and 700cst rear. Softer springs will probably help too.

I was gonna try those b pistons but figured that would give even less pack no?

Correct. The bounce you describe can be caused by too much pack.

Has anyone installed the universal drive shafts or the aluminum rear hubs? Wondering if there is any performance enhancement with the shafts.

Correct, those pistons should be less pack but combined with heavier oil and more droop it should be better on a rough track. Universals would also be good on rough track too. If you use universals be sure to run a 23f 28r ride height.

Can you post a setup sheet on your vehicles current config and also a link to a YouTube video so i can get an idea of the layout and conditions?

23f 28f seems a big diffence, why so much?

With universals this is the best ride height we have found. Front tends to lift a little and the rear lowers on acceleration. It sounds odd but works very well.

I am having troubles getting the front camber to -2deg with how short the camber links are, the turnbuckle feels like its bottoming out and binding up the pivot balls.

I checked that thanks, one of them was a turn off, so I fixed that. But I am still having the same problem.

That is good to hear. I run on a bumpy track so anything offset that would be great.
