Tips and Tricks
I'm doing this page to share some of the tricks that I use. Some of them are my ideas, some are things I've learned from other drivers. Some are very simple, but they are all useful.
Truggy Front Shock Setup
For the last couple of months we've been testing the long shocks on the front of the truggy to try to get more droop and a little bit better handling with more adjustment. This setup handles the bumps better and gives more stability. As you can see, you can get a lot of front droop, and this setup also allows for full compression without any problem.
Maximum Onroad Setup
When running onroad, this is what I recommend to get maximum best onroad setup.
No More Clunk Failure
In the past, I've had the fuel line in the fuel tank break right at the clunk. We've figured out a way to stop this from happening.
Airfilter Greasing
To increase engine life a super clean airfilter is a must. Here is one of the things that I do to make sure no dirt gets into my engine.
Ultra Smooth Shocks
This is a trick that Atsushi Hara showed me. Polishing the shock shafts for ultra smooth shocks.
Creating More Uptravel
We've been trying to get a little more uptravel, especially in the front of the D8 and D8T. It seems to make the car a little easier to drive, and it soaks up bumps a little better.
Room for More Droop
When you're using the long shocks, you can get a lot more droop but you need to make room in the arm.
