|  Twin Hammers front suspension setup
There was some discussion on fb regarding TH front suspension travel. I thought it worth sharing what i've found. A lot of people will know this already, but some won't. I took some shots of my outdrives that show the limits of correctly setting the travel. 1st at max extension - the drive pin is right on the edge, but with enough engagement to not pop out.  2nd at full compression, viewed with pin at front - pin appears to have plenty of space, but there isn't  3rd, again at full compression but viewed with the pin pointing upwards - it's about 1/2mm from bottoming out.  I'm not sure what happens if the shaft end goes past bottoming out, but the sort of loads that will be generated is almost sure to bend and break things. A correctly set stock setup achieves this full range of travel. You won't get more travel than this with stock outdrives. I do wonder how many drive system breakages seen are caused by bottoming out of the shaft. In the few months i've been taking an interest in the TH front setup, i've seen a lot of setups that will reduce full travel, bottom the shaft out or pop drive shafts out. If your setup is not stock, and you havn't checked this, it's worth having a look. May allow you to find more travel, and may save you a broken truck in the next big hit! |

Maybe building a lock system that secure the shaft so it cant pop out at full droop?

Installed a GCM plate on mine with upright shocks (Had 83mm Gmade shocks) Figured since it was designed for the SCX10 shocks, the 83's would limit travel (which they do in the up, but in the down, dogbones pop out) |
