And there still more to the journey, right! The brakes that never went on for all the right reasons, the 'other' set of Boze wheels you almost went with, the consideration for a fender stretch (which would of busted the budget). And through all that you, posted vids of passing the field and lowering your track times.
I think you and Vince & Crew have done a great job and given me lots to think about in my build! Props Bro...  |
Man Ron, you've got a great memmory, and yes sir, the journey never really does end does it!!
Thanks for the props, bud!!

I don't think the rate changes as it is more wire diameter and other build spec dimensions.
With bikes the critical measurements when determening spring rates are static sag (amount vehicle sags under it's own weight) and ride sag (amount of sag with rider and vehicle) the primary objective is to keep the shock valving in the sweet spot of the stroke over the majority of the course. Off-road bikes they have three stages of compression valving, if the spring allows the shock to ride too low into the mid-stroke the suspension get harsh and corner grip is impacted. I'm not sure how progressive valving is in vehicles though.
I do know that Cannon RC can build springs to your spec and needs.

Thats pretty interesting information. As soon as Vince gets a break we are going to have to discuss shocks. Thanks for the input.
