Jörns Reedy race buggy
Interesting couple of things I saw in the pics
B4 ( I think) rear hubs TD alu RF kick up Rear CF tower Also going back to the GT2 http://gallery.neobuggy.net/2013Race...%20copia-M.jpg http://gallery.neobuggy.net/2013Race...1879&k=khSvT3w As well as Hara running the 410 |
Did u see the chassis plate in the galerie?
It looks like selfmade?! |

Most of the things are quite obvious to me, but what is the reason for the rear hubs? Any theories?

cant be to stop the clogging up issues as Durango have they're own alloy hubs. may just be a test part, with an extra few degrees or something |

My personal theory is that these hubs allow the wheel axle to sit approx. 1mm further back, based on the amount of shims I think I see sitting in front of the hub, but it is hard to tell exactly from the photos. Any takers? |

I remember this being a performance mod for the XX year ago, hinge pin used to nearly pass between the rear hub bearings. From memory, it stops the car swaying as much in quick direction changes on loose surfaces.... but I may be corrected on this. |
How about the fact that he's using B4 driveshafts too ;)

He needs to get better at hiding other companies parts!!
|
Thought he would do better than drawing on it with a sharpie marker!:thumbsup:
|
And he use yokomo rod ends! :) He trust them more than Durangos?!? He was a yokomo team driver before.
|
Driveshaft/hub chance will def change the driveshaft plunge. Perhaps he is trying to gain a little extra grip due to a difference in driveshaft bind. The alloy suspension mounts are even more interesting. This is purely speculation but I wonder if they are the rdrp lrc mounts. If this is the case it brings roll centre (and the rest of the rear geometry) to being identical to a b4.1. Food for thought though!!
|
I wonder how wide there rear is with those hubs?

They do: http://www.team-durango.com/part-inf...artNo=TD330377 |
The Alloy hangers are TD option parts which will soon be available.
The team have been testing them for a while to evaluate the performance gain... |
Looks like the gearbox has two mounting positions for inner camber link also :thumbsup:

also is the carbon rear tower he's using an official TD part? or is that after market/3rd party? |
Is anyone know what sort of capacitor jorn use with his gt2 pro?
|
I want to know what turnbuckles he uses with his yokomo ballcups

Funny, that he use so much parts from orher companies.

Rear hubs
From the image the centre line of the hub looks lower than standard, so a lower roll centre could be the reason
CARB |
I get the feeling TD are testing some different parts here to look at perhaps a second generation of the DEX210 possibly. I know TD won't admit to this, but in respect of them improving on an already amazing car would show how commited they are to keep on winning. That to me in my eyes is a good thing.
There are times when drivers will use other parts to gain some time lap by lap, and as much as we can see a few parts that might not bt TD, the majority of the car is. In fact see one Mr Hara who is running a 410V3....not the old D4, which proves something really (either the D4 sucks, or he simply feels the V3 was a better drive). |
