I use a wide shoe lace but I only connect to the center of the diff to make sure I still get good flex while keeping a good ride height.. shoe laces look scale AF tho
Extended axles is what I’m putting on next. Got some swamp kings from LGRP and they are way bigger then the stock tires and I don’t wanna cut my body all to pieces just for articulation so I figure making her a little wider will do the trick.
@emilianogarcia78 any of them will work. You just may have to mount them in different spots to get what you want. Also we don't use any springs on our shocks...
@@agautoworx5346 yea I know I’m just trying to keep the car as if it was a real car I do eventually want to get shocks with no springs but as of right now no thank you though for the suggestion
Hey...thanks for the Tip, but this will decrease the way of movement of the complete front axle or? So this means...when i LIMITED the movement i have less flex when i need it. What do you think Adam?
The benefits of center mounting the strap is that you only limit vertical drop but you retain side to side articulation, maintaining all of your flex 💪🏻
I did this. And it worked. Now I’m wondering what’s the point of the dront double barrel suspensions, since this rubber band holds it close and doesn’t really let it expand all that much lol.
@@CapeCrawlers maybe not the best way. But it works excellent . Wish I could send a pic. It doesn't unload up or descending. Giving just the right flex to grab with all four tires
I tried that couple weeks ago . After abot of use the driveshaft ate the band 😂. Does work well tho. Harbor freight bag of bands was like 1$ too. I ended up using metal twist tie and rubber band my self.
Typically when you add long travel shocks, and especially when you mount them to the frame rails it raises your chassis significantly which jacks up your center of gravity, making you more tippy. By taking the springs out it drops it back down. So you get the benefits of all that travel without the high center of gravity
But say your tire is going into a dip, doesn’t that prevent the shocks from fully extending downwards? 🤔 it seems to me its a good trick but also takes some fun out of the flexing aspect?
I feel like I am crazy, but doesn’t this limiting strap also limit the travel of the front suspension? I have not tried this, which is probably why this isn’t making sense to me… Humor me 😆
Do you think there would be any benefit to running a micro linear servo connected to a rigid limit strap? That way you could suck down the body on demand. It’s an experiment I’d like to see or try.
@@CapeCrawlers I’m thinking maybe the spare push button on stock radio. Mount the linear servo flat on top of receiver. Then use fishing line or something similar between servo and same place the rubber band would go on axle side.
How about making a vid where you do a better close up shot of where the band is running ? I watched this video 20 times pausing and zooming in and can’t really tell the routing. Where it looks like you’re running it doesn’t work on my jeep, the rubber band hits the drive shaft, not enough gap between the shaft and servo .
I want to keep as much shock travel as possible, so I don’t want to alter the shock length itself, just control the front end lift and keep the drive shaft in tact.
Rubber band fix on a $800 1/24 truck!! Ha. I am going to wait for a known name to sell me a titanium strap in 16 different colors, a 2 month wait from China and only $60 each..
