Guys,
Ive been running my shocks bladdered, as I believed it to be the best for me - as I can build them consistently.
Well, on Sunday at York my Cat was a little random, especially in the final. Felt to pull to the left, which may have been as simple as trim - as id changed servo horn several times throughout the day and my effort in doing stuff was low seeing as I was in pain with my neck. But also it seemed to do some crazy stuff on bumps and jumps - especially the big jump, it wanted to corkscrew on takeoff every lap!
Seeing as id had a few impacts, the impacts which broke the servo horns, I thought I must have finally bent a screw going into the gearbox - they had survived several meetings. I also hadn't ruled out the one way diff being kaput, or a drive pin.
Tonight have given the SX a thorough going over - screws not bent still, changed them anyway.
One way diff still works fine (and love it).
Drive pins still in tact.
The only thing I did find was one of the rear bladders was cut and collapsed. On the shoulder between the thin centre and the outer o-ring it was cut by quite a bit.
Would this really effect my shock so much it'd send the car into a corkscrew on a large jump?
I guess some of it was trim, which is now done, it was only out by two button presses (futaba 3VCS).
Anyways, ive cut all bladders now and rebuilt. Shock still a doddle to build consistently, and feel super smooth (with whities in now too).
Chris
