ok

sounds like Miller still has a pallet of them

[JEEPWERX]

Yea that's what someone said from KOH.
I'll get an update from Cora.

[JEEPWERX]

I have a list of Parts I've already ordered from Nuway farmington.
Mostly suspension and engine related.
I'll try and post #s at some point  to aid in future parts ordering from HAHN.

are you guys on the FOX race program yet?

[JEEPWERX]

We are currently working with Fox on creating a marketing partnership with Torq-Masters.

I'm not in with Fox, I'm sure you'd guessed as much.

I should, want to get 2.5s under 571.

[M4wdFab]

Matt applied before KOH, hasn't herd back yet.

[mr.mindless]

Hmm. Sounds like I should really rush right out and do that, then :-/

[JEEPWERX]

Before I forget again...
We are at least officially on the Fox Racer Program as of last week. Still working on the level of marketing partnership we will end up at.
So we will order our Bro shocks with our EMC order.

what are you guys thinking for front bump stops?

this is the biggest area of consern on these trucks for me to get them to not blow apart on jumps

[mr.mindless]

I haven't looked closely at the beams or radius arms to see how/where the shocks mount. Secondary suspensions are banned per rules but I've got to assume static rubber bump stops are permissible.

Without having looked at anything yet, I'm planning to set shock mounting to bottom the shock before frame contact, and run a shaft stop on the shock, assuming they have no internal cushion. Hard/med/soft available http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speedthane-223539-Blue-Bump-Stop-2-1-4-Inch-Height-Hard,59315.html

Perhaps a rubber bump between the frame and beam as well - there may be something factory there already? In case the shaft stops blow apart, or a hard hit blows through them.

[M4wdFab]

factory stop on the frame there.

rules say rubber or poly bump stops and limit straps allowed. 


Not sure if those shock stoppers are in the spirit of the rules.  id def not set it up to bottom the shock out though lol

i was thinking something like this for the front

not wanting to pull a once race one replacement like 571 was though.

harness tip:

the inertia switch located in the pass foot well kills motor (fuel pump?).  bi pass and short pink and green wire.  everything else under the dash junk.

[mr.mindless]

maybe better explaination of my thought:

in order of contact from droop to compression:

shock shaft bump
upgraded bump in factory location
fully crushed shaft bump
fully crushed factory location bump stop
~1/2" to shock bottomed
~1/4" to beam crashed to bare frame


should I reverse the last two so if all bump stops fail, the beam crashes the frame before the shock fully bottoms? Laying it out like that, I think you're right. Frame should crash with ~1/8" of shock left. With stops in place, probably wasting about the top inch of shock travel but hopefully won't ever hurt the most expensive part of the truck
