something to this
Hello Guys,
this thread is very intersting, so my 5 cents:
the " problem " of our shocks seems to be, that high-speed ist to strong, which unsettles the car. But we need strong damping in low speed ( 0.5-1.5 Hz ) to give a driveable feeling and controlling wheigt transfer.
Some companies like Asso or Tamiya and Losi have these shocks witout blades, there is an oil/air mixture in it, which helps to soften the highspeed because the air bubbles expand under the piston.
Shocks like that have been used in those stadium trucks ( the real ones) in the 80is. The where position sensitive too...some iteresting books about that are availible
As somebody said, chaning stacks and stuff would make our cars very hard to setup, so the way is to think about floating pistons, maybe to slow down the last few mm's in rebound and to use an air/oilmixture in the shock.
One thing, chassis roll does not induce weight transfer, otherwise a pan car would not have weight transfer...its the moments which make the weight transfer.
Sorry for my english.
Maurice
