From PVC to Piston Cane

[cars69]

Have you had it out on the rocks yet? I run a 17" TCS stick and I
know how it works. I also have a 18" Pimp Cane that when it's
bound up between two rocks and you get free it unloads and
goes where ever it wants to.
I'm looking at your design which is thinking outside the box,
and some cool ideas happen when we do that. I can't see
how you can control the spring unloading when your bound up
and get loose from it. Do you have a way to control the recoil
of the spring? Shocks compress and recoil back, but they have a
end point.

Hi, I've made just some tests with a softer spring and what I can say is that this kind of chassis is more rigid (by far) than a Pimp Cane (I've also a Pimp Cane Clod).

However You're right, the spring, when releasing after a twist, is not gradual as, for example, a shocks (where the oil slows down the stroke). I've to run more test on this.

this is a great idea but i too would be concerned about lack of dampening. it would be awesome to somehow have a rotary dampener. but keeping the chassis sleek would be the problem.

Very excelent idea man! Thats outside the box... As for the dampening the recoils... not sure... keep up the good work!

impressive, let us know when you hit the rocks

Cool Idea man....

How about 2 springs maybe one iside the other or ? placed opposite direction for load?
