Shock absorber testing
 
After not being able to find a good set up I tried something different than the norm and here are my findings.

I used super glue medium to seal the stock piston holes, and then used two holes 1,5 mm and 150wt core oil front and rear, this gave a smooth feel and quick shock reaction over our tracks micro bumps yet gave a good feel when landing jumps.

My understanding is that the thin oil allows fast response over small shock movement yet only having two holes allow the blank part if the piston to act as a seal so the on long shock movement (landing a jump) it acts like pack stopping the chassis bottoming because the stroke of the shock is moving faster than the oil can pass through the two holes so becomes automatically harder the faster the shock piston accelerates.

Not sure why you posted this EXACT post on my Durango thread, then once I questioned it you changed your own post, and now you have copied and pasted it over here?

Well done, you've discovered pack.

Yup... that's not 'acting like pack', that is pack!
