PilotOdyssey.com :: View topic - Barstow this week end

NAW no race hoser just some shock tuning on the rear of the pilots which turned out better than I could imagine today and testiing my 5-1600 car for the laughlin dezrt challenge. How I wish you could come drive my pilots hoser, I have tried many things since I started into this pilot life, most long travel pilot owners could not imagine how a pilot can really handle when they are running off the shelf ATV shocks, close to 4 inches less wheel travel and springs entirly to big. I have spent a large amount of time trying many different things, doing different things to the pistons and shim stacks and I am to the point I don't think any other changes can be made to improve it. The only limitatin now is the wheelbase which it is what it is I have driven some pretty awsome off road cars and trucks over the years, driving my pilot today shocked the chit out of me . Video and pictures to come in the next couple of days

Video and pictures to come in the next couple of days Maybe its time you enter a Pilot in a desert race I doubt you need much more than a stock Engine to win. I would like for you to drive my Pilot see what you think about the suspension I havent been able to get it dialed back in since I changed the hoses to the reservoirs (went bigger) and changed the front A arms from my home made setup (kind of a long story) http://www.pilotodyssey.com/LTfront.htm http://www.pilotodyssey.com/LTfront1.htm http://www.pilotodyssey.com/LTfront2.htm to the YODA arms. I think I need to learn the secrets of the valve stacks like what does what I have seen some strange valve stack arrangements over the years just don't know how to 'read' the stack to figure out what it does.

I will look into it for you hoser, I have not worked with airshocks much but I know people in the know who can help, my shocks on the rear have been turned into internal bypass but the shock is there on the medium to big hits. My 14 year old son was driving his stock suspension pilot with works triple rate shocks on it yesterday, I let him drive one of my long travel pilots today. big mistake. he says his is absolutely no fun to drive anymore. He was blown away at how big he could take things and not feel it! Hoser can you tell me what valve stack you have now? Were going to try some unorthodox things on your shocks, I will get back to you this week! after a brain storm session with my friends--Dave....forgot to tell you, I am going to let my kids race the Elsinore grand priX next weekend!! 10 minutes from my house!
