That’s the wickedest Capra probably of anyone’s. But boy did it take you a lot to get there. A shame a company wouldn’t take the initiative to make some RTRs closer to it.
A bit off topic but im loving the suspension videos, especially since I’ve got my first MOA crawler (over 40 years in the hobby and have countless crawlers, but my first MOA) its a totally different driving experience but id love to fully understand the changes that spring and oil weight have. I’m having an issue where the Bully goes from being planted on a rock to pretty much flipping itself over on a side hill. With all my other rigs, this is predictable but this thing will flip in an instant…. Thicker oil? Softer springs? Shock angle? Linkage location? I know you are the man for the job…. Look forward to a video if you ever do one on this subject 😃
I am working on an oil weight video very soon. In your case, it sounds like the shock response might be too regressive, which causes you to blow through the travel unpredictably. Do you have an option of putting your shocks more vertical?
@@BoomslangSuss yes, there are a few different mounting options but it’s maybe the characteristic of this thing. It’s an RC4WD Bully 2 Kinda similar to your sporty build only it’s moa
@@TimsRcsurgery Without seeing your vehicle, I'd maybe try lowering your CG if you can, lower the ride height, stand the shocks up, and thicker oil and perhaps
Sorry off topic for this video but how about a video on front suspension link geometry, all these aftermarket chassis have just as many front upper link mount positions as rear, where should the front upper link be mounted at the chassis, higher or lower and why? Thanks for the informative videos please keep them coming.
The front linkage controls the anti-dive, or the braking response. I actually think the front linkage is more important on a crawler than the rear - you are more likely to be hitting the brakes, than punching the throttle, and anti-dive helps to keep you from flipping over the front when you hit the brakes really hard. IN GENERAL, raising the front upper link at the chassis decreases dive, which is a good thing. However, there are often too many other packaging constraints in the front that might prevent you from doing this. Also, this is just a general guideline and could be different depending on the full linkage layout on any particular rig.
Sick
That thing hangs like my Lemming Crawler. Nice!
Where do you get those?
@@BoomslangSuss my buddy @adamwillby sells them.
