Why didnt you just work on the rear shocks where your problem is? You could of left your front mide height alone and changed rear springs or revalved to get it right.

Rusty,the rear is already too stiff.On the rough stuff it's like a bucking bronco,and on jump- landings it po gos.
The prob is all the weight is on the rear,and little at the front,+ 130HP.......

Went to a new race track on Sunday morn,cold as,brrrrr!
It's just inland from the Northam Speedway Track,about 10kms?
It's an ol MX track,clay,lots of rocks,undulating,narrow tracks and TWISTY!!!!!!
The start line is on top of a high hill mound.Scary lookin' down to the first turn,narrow tracks as well.Need to get a new HD HellCam to show yas.

1st race,against Zipo-1100SuziCuda.

2nd race against 12-1400?KwakaCuda.

3rd vid,10 lapper slapper,over 20 minutes long.Grab a beer or 6!.... ImageNeed to service,clean my clutches from last Tammin Meet I think?
MC buggies def launch better off the natural terrain with more traction.

Hi Baz,

Can i come over and play in your new sandbox, that track looks fantastic. How did you find it to drive on, looks like fun, twisty, jumps and elevation changes that's just what i want with my new track.

Whats with all the blue buggies, blue team verses red team? You are looking much smoother with it now you must be starting to get a better feel for it, still looks a handfull to me, lol. My forearms would be twice the size after one lap

Can i be nosey and ask if you got any in car video of that track?

Cheers
Dave

Course ya can Dave! How long till ya get here?
Might look like it's easier turning,but still big understeer,especially when the track dried out and became rougher and rougher.

Yeah those 2 light blue buggies,Cudas,are new to the club.
They are Mates of each other (not mine) that wanted to try off road,away from tarmac racing.Said tarmac was too expen$ive?????
They are involved in a lot of so called race incidents since they started here a few months ago,they drive as if Sheepstations are on offer.
I got rear ended by both last Sunday.The last race was another 10 lapper,land rush start.
I made it into the 1st turn without incident,because I adjust my speed and braking to allow 10 buggies into 1 corner,,was just on the turning sequence when BAMM! CRUNCH,WHAZZO!BIFF! BOOM!
Holey smokes BlattMan!!!!!
I look to my RHS rear,and there's a !@#$% Cuda nose that I can touch from my belted seat posi!
He rammed me from the RHS rear on an angle,then had the nerve to blame me for sudden braking?????? WTF!
BargeArseBros.

I was ready and lined up for restart,but they cancelled it.
I'm now really thinking "Is it all worth it,getting my FL800 banged into each meet?"
Some guys just take it all TOO serious!!!!
I did'nt buy it to be used like a carnival bumper car.

I need to buy a HD HellCam.
But here's a vid from BargeArse to show the track's layout:

I hear ya Baz, we have them over here too, some of those guys are just plain dangerous to be on a track with. I am old, i race for the fun of it I'm not interested in killing anyone to get an extra place. I think there are quite a few guys in our club that think the same way too. I can't wait to get my track done, it's worse than waiting for a buggy to arrive from the states, lol.

Cheers
Dave
