The Rad Charger that was originally built for the Onx Offroad Build Challenge of 2023 has been sitting for longer than Id like. My friend Zach convinced me its time to put it to work again, so today we'll be putting it back together so it can be used for its intended purpose!

2:55 - The higher the number, the more teeth there are on the gears... - The more teeth the gears have, the bigger the gear diameter...(this also means the teeth contact surfaces are smaller, but that's another topic) - The bigger the diameter, the longer it takes to make one full rotation... - The longer it takes to make a full rotation slows the top speed, while increasing the torque output (think power to turn something) Better explanation?

Haha, that made it more confusing. The diameter never changes. It’s a ratio for reduction, for the driven gear (ring) divided by the drive gear (pinion). A common one is 4.10’s, 41, on the ring divided by 10 on the pinion. A higher number is a higher ratio or a greater reduction for how many times the input (pinion/driveshaft) has to turn to spin the output (ring/axles/tires) . On a side note… a higher ratio comes with a thicker ring gear and a smaller diameter pinion (fewer teeth remember), it becomes impractical at some point so there is usually a carrier split at some point where the carrier itself is machined differently so you don’t end up with an extremely heavy/thick ring gear. Probably too much info for a comment 😂

FINALLY! I love the Radcharger. I have an 85 Ramcharger I'm working on trying to get going now and other than paint, and the roof rack stopping before the back, the Radcharger is kinda like the blueprint for what I hop will be one wicked machine. I already have a 360 magnum swap with a sniper and some other little fine tuned bits. Set up for dual batteries to power some accessories and plan on taking it on some road trips as my daily/trail rig. We need more Radcharger content!
@timpretzsch2609
@timpretzsch2609 10 дней назад
The numerical value of gear ratio is EI: 5.38/1 = 5.38 rotations of input pinion, to 1 rotation of the ring gear or essentially the tires. Or another example is 4.88/1 = 4.88 rotations of the input to 1 rotation of the ring.

Good job on rebuilding the Fox shock. I don't about your particular shock but manufacturer's typically specify the exact amount of shock oil, oil weight and nitrogen psi. I think you may have overfilled your shock with oil.

I always found it useful to think of gear tooth count as fractions since that's effectively what they are, for 1 rotation the gear has 538 teeth (I know it doesn't really but that is the effective combination of gears) so: 1/488 > 1/538 just like 1/2 > 1/4

I know everyone is in love with Holley injection but I have messed with both and the Edlebrock ProFlo4 is far superior for the money. My guess based on how its running is its FItech. ProFlo4 has Multi Port, Timing Control, Throttle Body and Intake for 2 grand and runs like a top. All tunable from any smart device with bluetooth. I don't know if you have Sniper or FiTech currently but both are super old tech and problematic compared to the ProFlo4.
@Rudysadventureanddesignreal
@Rudysadventureanddesignreal 11 дней назад
I started with fi tech for the nature of the budget build, I would not recommend them. I had two units go bad in two weeks and threw a carburetor I had laying around on it. The carb is nowhere close to where it should be. Hollie reached out and we’re gonna be trying the sniper two on it. We’ll see how long it lasts. I have high hopes.

The problem with putting a paint job on an old vehicle is that it looks cheap when you put on old faded parts. A new set of tail lights is $50 on Amazon. I think that's another reason why Paul and the rest of the fabbers like Patina.
