rumley LR

Look what a bloomer car did for landers lol can't say the cars aren't superior to others

Read the DOD article and it reminds of the suspension deal on the LR in 2015. Does anyone actually know what they were doing, I mean they never really announced it? Then at the end of 15' it sounded like they could build the same thing even with the new lucas rules but it would cost more. Did they? if so what happened, did others get it too or find another way to the same deal.

They were bluffing. Lucas blindly applied enough random rules to stop them.

Rocket!!! The R in XR is for Rumley! Put your XR-1 on a Longhorn jig.. Identical!

If they're identical I would think that the Longhorns would have run better this year.

They did run well. Tuning is worth a lot more than the collection of welded tubes though. Richards car is tuned much better than the typical xr1.

Proper tuning is the key to making any chassis work well. The guys that are relentless about doing their homework until they get the car they want it will always be faster than the guys that just follow whatever setup book they get when they purchase a car.

The device allowed the LR to hike almost unlimited without adding roll steer.

[Necrosis]

The front link was to control axle wrap under throttle, and when the rear went into rear steer under power, it'd control it until the body settled, and allow the rear steer to return to neutral after body roll. It was tuned with a biscuit or rear tie-down shock settings.

Well, so many of you downplayed Rumley's device, and look what a difference a year makes. That simple part that nobody but Rumley had figured out made a huge difference. And I'm pretty sure the Lucas rules weren't blindly applied, they targeted Rumley's gadget and anything resembling it.

I am curious if there's anything to outlaw off of the 0 as glaringly obvious as what Rumley had.

It's a Rocket Chassis though. Not a Longhorn, so the same rules don't apply.

I was not in the downplay camp. My point was that I doubt Lucas ever completely understood it, despite teching the car.

I don't think anything under the zero is obvious. I think he has tuned to another level.

Scott was running that droop limiter that looked like a shock. That'll probably get 86'd.

They are...he can only use his big toe on the gas pedal not his whole foot...lol

Copy. I think very few others other than Rumley himself completely get it.

Agreed. But I thought most of them were running that thing too. Could be wrong, but I thought it was pretty popular.
