I like this one you show off...

I did some shock re-valving last night and will test this weekend. Already rode better than the Elka 5's but I think I can get more out of them.

Powercommander also added transmission tuning to the Powervision for the Talon ECU. Lots of settings.

We all wish we had your get it done mentality

I use too but kind of broken now

I'm intrigued by the shock tuning. What are you after by revalving them in comparison to how they performed at Stony?

With these I have external Low and High speed compression and rebound adjustments. I made a bunch of passes over the same terrain when y'all went for dinner and got my settings pretty close. I was close to full loose on low speed compression, High speed compression was in the middle of my adjustment and rebound was tight. So I add a flutter stack to the low and medium speed part of the stack to soften and replaced 2 rebound shims to a little thicker shim to stiffen. Ideally I want my adjustments for the shock to be in the middle to ride the best. Plus the external adjustments change a more linear range vs the shims that are more progressive. Ususally lots of trial and error revalving unless u do it for a living but doesn't take long to do. More time taking the shock and spring off than re-valving.

That's really cool. I always played with pistons and hole shape/size when I raced 1/8 scale R/C cars. I would buy blank pistons and drill them out for different track types. It was really cool to see how those little changes made the car better, so watching what you've done in a real scale buggy is pretty neat.

Started mocking up long travel on the pioneer. Hopefully this weekend I will get the geometry finalized and the arms finished for the front. I have the factory Fox RC2 2.5 shocks off my YXZ that I am going to use. Rhino 2.0 axles. I am shooting for 2.5" forward and overall width of about 71". Travel looks to be 15"-17". It can be more but I would need to move the A arm mounting points and change to a shorter rack to do it and not wanting to go that deep yet. Going to have to cut a lot of plastic around the headlights.

You da man! What application for the Rhino 2.0 axles did you use that are wider?
I am ready to start buying parts now!

Or did your width come from different wheels?

Pioneer 6" lift rhino 2.0 axles. They are about 4.25" in the front and 5" wider in the rear on each side. I used a high offset 5-1 wheel to pull the wheels in so it is 72-73" wide. With the wider rear axles, u dont need the wheel spacer to even out the width. Still a lot of fab and trial and error. Got around 5k in parts and a lot of time.

That is just one amazing rig !

Did you machine your own A arm ends for the balljoints up front?
