Although I still wonder if it would noticeably change the way the truck reacts during ledge jumps and steep downhills.

I would probably give it a shot again. I love the throttle response now, the ability to jump gaps from a dead stop is greatly increased.

Remember, both mass and velocity are represented in the formula for momentum.

It was from sudden decel's not accel's. My overall wheel speed was for the most part unchanged.

Exactly what I said in my first post:

Sounds perfect, did you make them on a lathe? If so manual or CNC? Have you got any more pictures please?

Cool product but you better bust out a vendor star to pimp products on RCC

[mattin]

Hey,

after losing about 1pound of overall weight i have come back to the original felsenfest knuckles and weights. They now have just the real amount of weight for my berg.



also changed the steering a to zero ackermann plates from egressor.



The steeringlink is homemade from gr.5 titan, turned down from 6 to 5mm. Cutting a tread in this kind of materian realy hurts...
