Trophy Trucks need to handle some of the most extreme terrain and high speed abuse of any racing racing vehicle on the planet. The suspension set up plays a MASSIVE role in the effectiveness and performance in these trucks. In this episode, we are back in Plaster City, CA to do some shock testing with King Shocks. To aid in our R&D (and because its sick AF) we brought out some high speed cameras, and a shot over gimbal system mounted to a Ford Raptor. This way, you can see all of the suspension articulation and functionality of this truck in slow motion.

For several months I couldn't even go to his or Hoon channels. A man that meant so much to my adolescent years, hit pretty hard. May the days we have on this plane be filled with excitement ànd joy. That's what life's all about. R.I.P. KB you will never be forgotten

If you’re super into this stuff, watch Dust to Glory (original Baja 1000 documentary) and watch guys like Robbie Gordon and Rob MacCachren.. Those drivers will leave you jaw hanging on the floor.. Ken is awesome, but he is brand new in this world and still has a long way to go… Awesome to have him becoming part of this scene though

Really impressive how a 6000lb truck can go that fast and easily fly over that type of terrain. And of course it has one bada$$, nutbar driver behind the wheel too, no offense intended there Ken. Testing out the limits of this new truck now is going to really pay off for you later. As always, KEN FRICKIN' BLOCK JUST KILLING IT!!!

@ryano8613 2 года назад

Each bypass tube is set at a different level on the shock body so that when the shock piston starts to come up, each bypass is set harder and harder (higher pressure) so that the shock can move faster and more fluid at extension but becomes stiff enough at compression to soak up the big air landings . Also when those bump stops,,,,STOP working and max out, you feel it in the race car!! I rebuilt and tuned many Fox, King, Bilstein Blackhawks and procomp shocks for our team and for customers.. fun stuff. Working with those giant shocks most times takes 2 even 3 people LoL... Great vid guys, kick arse at the BaJa 1k....!
