Learn how shocks pistons and oil affect your damping, and how all that adds up to affect handling. Hopefully it's not too...shocking.
Everyone's favorite Aussie gearhead explains the fundamentals of weight transfer in racing and how it can be used to increase traction or change the front-to-rear relative traction while cornering. In Part 2, he covers roll center and how it contributes to cornering relative to shock springs and shock oil & pistons. A must watch for all tuners!
Team Associated provides a summary of shock pistons and how they affect handling, so you can figure out if you should use flat, tapered, or thin pistons.
How to fix understeer (push), oversteer (loose), and other common handling problems for both on-road and off-road RC cars.
Ty explains the various shock types, how they affect rebound, and how shock rebound is used in tuning 1/8 scale off-road cars.
