show us your flex

Postby scruff123 » Mon Sep 27, 2010 6:46 pm

thought of starting a little thread of member trucks flexed out, here's mine: the rear flexes mint but front ifs is crap, letting down the torsions a little bit so i can regain full upward wheel travel, just put longer shocks in it so getting a extra 40mm down travel in the rear than i had with the munroes in, pretty happy with the ride comfort to.

Muddys might look more exciting but Pigs is more dangerous even though I think half of it is photo angle. Muddy has a bank on the left that will prevent a decent rollover If pig75 goes over it would be 2 to 3 rolls to the bottom. Neither car is anywhere near the point of no return. Even if it was a little use of the loud peddle will save the day as the second front wheel will drop and everything will level out

now a couple of me

We had a 20 deg ramp at ccvc last weekend. This was calculated as 495 but thinking about it the measure was taken from the edge of the box section not the ground and it was taken when the front wheel spun so if it had been done on concrete a higher score would of been possible. Everyone else was done the same way so the competition was fair. Its just what might of been.
Im in the market for low profile bump stops I think. They might get me to 550

Nothing wrong with mine that a bucket of soapy water and a brush wont fix. It took 14 1/2 years to get that look
