I must go to the next event hopefully ny stock raptor will still be fun im only on mid perch

Some one told me before havoc a good quote since I was worried about the same thing at havoc. "Last time I checked your in controled of the throttle. Control that and you won't have any problems." I took my stock suspension on mid perch to havoc and gave it hell. It had no problems at all.

Me being in control of the throttle is the problem!

I ran this event bone stock on the bottom perch. I had no issues having fun and made it away with zero damage. That being said, Mid perch and RPG Stage Three are a must before the next one. I was slower and more cautious than I wanted to be due to the stock setup.

The biggest issue on the course will be your feet and steering

LOL.......good thing i didnt grab that pump lol. Let the warranty work its magic.


and for the record my stock suspension truck with the 100$ SDHQ frame reinforcement kit and top perch will take everything i throw it at. The past 2 runs my power steering has been my weak point and failed before anything else. These trucks fairly stock can take one hell of a beating its just how much your wiling to take being behind the wheel cuz its a lot rougher than all you guys with the nice stage 3 shocks. Obviously my stock suspension having to work so much harder put strain on my steering but at the same time my driving didnt help either.


Im probably gonna go RPG stage 3 around christmas and i got the cooler and reservoir just waiting to be installed.......

IM COMIN FOR YA RICH! (TRR 2014)

To Be Continued........

From what I have seen over the years here on the forum, seems like the full lock counter steering under lots of rpm is the main problem. Making a pump bypass with lots of volume is not a good thing especially when there is not much fluid capacity. Makes things hot and makes things break! STOP THAT DRIFTING SHIT! AHhaaaaa.
