is that at the lowest point of the tire?

NickRummy · 12-19-2005, 01:03 PM

I didn't take the pic but i hope it is ;)

Chambiec1 where are ya?

I know pop cans are a little over 4-3/4" and the bottom of the tire looks below the top of these two cans so it has to be at 8-3/4" - 9"

bigsuzuki86 · 12-19-2005, 03:43 PM

13" of flex from a nylint is way way to much but if you have 13 it only works where it looks good and that is on a shelf

The only way to reach 13" from a nylint is for the rear axle to be at 90* and the front to be another 1.25" off the ground which every crawler on this site knows is way overboard in the flex part of a "good" rock crawler.

i just did a little cutting here and there off of the tab mod 2 days ago and i now have 11 inches. I thought i should of 4 linked i think i was retarded 2 weeks ago. Now all i need to do is get rid of the axle hangups and i will be able to go places none of my clods have gone before even past my GECKO.....

joecrawler · 12-19-2005, 05:06 PM

correction i meant i did some cutting long after i did the tab mod to get better articulation:?

Hey man.
Yeah, the 9" was from the bottom of the tire, it's just a wierd camera angle.
Im gonna drill out the stops and see what I can get.
BTW... that pic was driven into

You guys are a bunch of posers taking flex shots with your bodies off the rig.

Try leaving the body on and then taking flex pics.

Agreed. Show the body!

I didn't measure at the time so i would say 8". Enough to keep the smile on her face

Heres mine and my buddy's. I don't have a body yet and I get over 2 pop cans. He can get 2 pop cans also and more if he cuts the body up some.

13" is not possible. With the axle standing straight up, perpendicular to the ground, there is 12" from the floor to the bottom of the top tire.

Unless you are counting the top of the tire, which is retarted.

I just looked this thread up in the Websters dictionary.

gay
adj. gay·er, gay·est

1. Of, relating to, or taking pictures of articulation with no body on.

The first nigt I got mine with just the shocks inboarded I got a little over 9". I would say that 10" is plenty for a rig that you want to do more with than just sit on Pepsi cans...

bigsuzuki86 · 12-20-2005, 02:21 PM

The only suspension mod I would do on anything to get more flex is 4 link it and longer shocks stood stright vertical both ways or pretty close to vertical. On a nylint the first shock and spring mod I would do is put savages on it so you have real shocks not those poor frictions and then get the tri-rate springs to increase the downward tire pressure and keep body roll to a minimum. All the junk you guys are doing is exactly like me and badger stated, only works on a shelfqueen, if you take it out on the fun off camber stuff you wont make it very far at all.

So i should go and put the body on to keep you happy??

I dont wheel mine with a body anyway so its real time flex. The body is more for the guys who want to look cool IMO.

I dont just take mine out without the body to see flex and bring it back in. I wheel it like that. Sometimes with a body sometimes not.

Do you sleep with it also? What do you call it when you have tea parties with it?

icu_runnin · 12-20-2005, 03:23 PM

Tea parties? Sorry man i dont get that serious with a toy. Just to pass time. Its nice to see someone who still watches cartoons and keeps them on there pc.

Don't knock it unless you've tried it. It's very relaxing.
