LF Droop limiter?

[Kromulous]

Tops out may of been the wrong word, 1/2" from full droop or shock's max extension.

Currently were running high left-side % 54.5, and rear % is high as well, 55.5 or so. That's with 100 lbs of bite and a 500 lb LF spring.

We have a alot of rebound on the LF already, and the tether may be overkill not sure. I am interested to find out the full effects of it.

So last night was my first race in a new Mastersbilt and I had the LF shock drop limited 1/2" from full drop.

Would this limiting on the LF cause the RR to wheel hop?

In the heat my crew said my RR was wheel hopping. In the Bmain about the half way point the car came to life and started working. While doing maintenance on the car today I discovered that the LF chain had broke and I am curious if that is when the car came to life and maybe the chain was causing issues before it broke.

Yes, it can. That is the problem many are going to experience unless you know what your doing when you start limiting it a fair amount, however it usually doesn't show up with the small amount of limit you was doing but can happen.

leave it off and go from there, jmo.....

Where can I buy the clamp to attach the tether to the lower control arm?

google "split shaft collar" then just search the diameter you need for your lower control arm. Just weld a tab on it for the tether.

it even shows some Walmart carry them, so not hard to find.

Kent, I am so disappointed. I was picturing a trick Billet aluminum clamp with a double shear mount for the cable. Of course, sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.

[zeroracing]

If it makes you feel better Kent would probably buy one, engrave a Taylormade logo in it and ship it to you for a couple hundred.

[racer2e]

That is darn nice of him, but I am going to pass.

[billetbirdcage]

LOL, surely that trick billet mount would make the car faster then a new tire. (sarcasm)

Took the limiting device off, and the car responded well. Finally took off in feature.

I made other changes, so i may go back and revisit the limiter later but for now, its off.

The car looked pretty good!

Yeah. That was a new car. First time on the track. We were pretty ill-prepared to race, but it was encouraging.

What kinda car did he get? Looked pretty good for 1st time out really, he was working it up towards the top ten there. Seems like he got the short end on the draw and heat race, that happens.
