Just kidding. Hope you had a good time today while I waited patiently for more videos...

Update,

I tried to upload the footage for the past 4 hours with no luck, my program keeps crashing. I will work on it tomorrow and try my best to fix it. Corey is taking the truck testing with Fox tomorrow at plaster city. We made very big changes to the suspension today. The rear was packing up to much, and the front just couldn't get in sync with the rear. We had way to much ride height in the front end and will play with new valving setups so both ends of the truck are on the same page. We had to take lots of compression and rebound out of the rear. It's a big swing, but we are confident it will get the setup in the right direction.

Don't get me wrong, this thing is scary fast as is, but we learned so much on Sunday that the new setup should be lights out. Whoops that are normally taken at 30mph were being blasted at 65-75.

Anyway, I'll post up as soon as I can get my computer figured out.

I'd like to learn more about what your looking for when you tune it?
control over the truck?
How much the front is hopping.
What key aspects are you looking at?

Oh and, where is the video??

What does this mean?

What does this mean?

Easiest way i can describe this is to look at the rear wheel of the truck going through a whoop section. If the truck looks like the rear wants to hang up in the bump zone for to long, truck will eventually come down, but the wheel will still be packed up in the zone which makes the next set of whoops that much more painful because the suspension is not free to get full extension on either end. It basically packed up in the bump zone and is making your life very stiff and unhappy.

Hope that makes sense.

Ok everyone,

Here is a short video clip of the past few days test session, Let just say they haven't gone to plan. Very early in todays we had a puncture in the radiator and cut our day really short. We were only able to get a couple cell phone vids because of this. The first part of the clip is from the very first time it unloaded for testing. I only got the chance to take one hot pass with Corey today and even with the limited time, the truck is starting to feel more in balance. He has lots of work to do on the front, but we are happy with the path we are on. I'll keep trying to post up progress clips like these so everyone can follow along. Then when the truck is done, I will make the highlight real and do it right.

Thanks
