The Real Dogman's TK Twister '08-'09 Winter Point Series Comp Rig

[The Real Dogman]

I am using NTT Reaches #5 in the front and #8 in the rear. I am using a larger than normal diameter foams to acheive the "Full Stuff" and in the fronts I have added approx a 3/8" wide section of Proline Stock foam for additional sidewall support. The tire and foam combo are the best combo I have found so far. Great sidehilling yet excellent traction on all surfaces.

Just looked up link above. Really curious in your opinion what the advantages and using you have for the different foams. Thanks.

I like to have firmer foams in the rear so the traction is not a drastic. When you climb steep hills you want the rears to spin first while the front, with better traction, pulls the rear. That helps to keep the front from lifting/flipping as much...

Thank you!!

Thank you very much,, The rear is set at 3 1/8" and the front is 3". And when I put the sprung front Jatos on I think it wil end up close to 3 1/4" maybe 3 1/8" front and rear. Getting up there and still sidehills nice with the foam combo I'm currently using

And when I put the sprung front Jatos on

So you are going to do it? I think it will be a move in the right direction.

 

[The Real Dogman]

Its been a hard decision since the droop and sprung combo seems to be working pretty well, but testing and tuning must continue!!

ah...., i see. so softer/memory foams up front and maybe stock or old hard foams in the rear?

thanks for the input. "thumbsup"

 

[The Real Dogman]

Your very welcome.. That should work too, just remember, foam tuning is just as important as shock tuning especially in Panthers

 

[rockdawgtruggy]

3 inches??:shock: man im way too low:-( have you tryed to run the front tires without foame??

 

[The Real Dogman]

I would never try to run tires without foams, need the support while turning on a sidehill manuver. Be just too soft up front.

 

[rockdawgtruggy]

ahh, ok. iv never run the panthurs and just bought some and wanted to see what you did"thumbsup" thanks!

tyler,
