H3's '08 2.2...Poulson's/Edge/Torsion/VF dig

[H3RESQ]

So, The axle's, electronic's, DIG, etc. all worked great.

On my first run the servo and battery were hitting the Edge because the torsion rod's were so soft. This cause the tierod to bend.

I removed the Edge and put a bug body on it for the second course, this really caused issue's. Without the shock's on the rear it exagerated even more how soft the ti rod's were. On my second course I actually went down into a V-crack and when the tires started to climb the rear's came forward and bowed the chassis to literly shorten the wheelbase by a couple inches...lol.

Anyway....It was a floppy sloppy mess between the ti torsion rod's and bending tierod that allowed my tires to go in opposite direction's....lol.

Here's what I did for TN. I will probably go back to the BTA but not till I can have BigD make me a good tierod.

I removed the Titanium torsion rod's and went back to piano wire. I also went to standard steering till after Tn.

Here's the new version........for now. I drove it a bit today and wow...what a diffrence..Back to the torsion I know and love, but with more clearance. I really got to play with the Dig a little today. What a great setup...It was quick, solid, and flawless. I can't wait to get the new setup on the rocks............

Glad you had a chance to work out the bugs before a major comp. Please prove to me this set up doesnt work so I dont have to go and spend more money...(I know that wont happen, this is a great set up)

Good luck

Sucks to hear about all the problems, but good to hear you figured them out and just need to make them better.
