glad to help

Hey guys I plan on ordering shim stacks from you guys for my radflo shocks. However I have a question since I am new to radflo. I am trying to optimize the shock to sock up small to medium bumps and choppy terrain. I know with KING you use flutter stacks to get a softer low speed, or extend the soft zone. Is the principle the same with radflo?

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

yes same principle

[@joeymozart]

Good job guys! Very informative!! Don't have coilovers yet but I'm working on it!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

+joey lopez they make a big difference

[@naturelovertx]

That was cool. Many of my questions answered in such a short video. I would loved to see one related to tires. I see so many different tires used on these machines and some that are modified. I would love to know why these guys choose the tires they use.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

+naturelovertx great idea

[@Motodents]

Pleased again with the video!!!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

+crazyzx9rguy thanks

Dude. I am the biggest dune buggy fan of all time and I believe you are the best. I have subscribed, liked and shared every video so far that I have watched (only found you 2 days ago). Dune buggy KING! You gave me the knowledge to build my own monster (have no clue where to start I am a noob)! Love you brother and keep up the good work! Give us some 2019 - 2020 masterpieces. If I had money I would buy one from ONLY YOU right now, I won't even drive it, just look at it, a master piece made by the dune buggy King and your signature somewhere to brag about. The chassis are a form of art, along with the way all parts are assembled. A true master you are indeed.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

we don't call them Dune Buggies, we call them rock bouncers

[@slippy9916]

What to do ? My Marzocchi 04. DJ 2' fork just took a scrap. One of the axle strap just broke. These are now Junk, right ?

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

no idea on a Fork

[@Tapage]

Excellent !!!!! I would like to know ( and I know there is the magic ) more about which stack you use and how Jake ( or others ) configure their stacks to archive their goals to improve comp and rebound ..

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

+Tapage Ill ask but dont know if he will tell. lol

[@KINSHELLAKUSTOMS]

Buddy awesome video now I don't have a sweet buggy like that nor could I afford one lol but I do build RC trucks and I am currently building a RC rock bouncer 1/10 scale the hole cage will be 1/16 brake tube but anyway I also have a very sweet scale Toyota RC with a full exo cage and I always have a hard time getting my trucks RC lol to move like a real truck and have the shocks work just right and not cause the truck to bounce out of control but I never really understood the shocks and how to get them to work how I won't now I I know there a lot smaller but they work all the same I really appreciate your making this video thanks

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

+B-town Every day thanks for watching

[@tobiastho9639]

Reminds me of the times I've built the shocks for my Tamiya RC car... xD There were a few different options to put into them.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

RC cars have come a long way

[@highlandcrawler]

MORE PLEASE! Great show. I enjoy these as much as the actual videos of them running. Great to see the minds behind the machines. And Jake your buggy is dialed. Noticed you walking right up stuff in some recent videos. Great stuff guys

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

+Erin Mc Loud thanks we have another one coming out soon!

[@jesseortega8598]

Awesome tech Advise for the Shocks. I'm familiar with all this Because I used to Have RC Off road Buggies and trucks. Same principles. I know every driver is different ! Some would prefer to almost float across the Rocks and keep the Tires planted !

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Keeping your tires on the ground is how you get faster

[@enriquelodela63]

How do I set the IFP depth on a 2.5 fox bypass 7/8 x 12' piggyback reservoir?

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Good question

[@prancstaman]

Yah buddy, Shocks are the key to it all, that will make or brake your run in any kind of competition. Thanks for the tips and know how.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

+prancstaman glad you enjoyed the video more on the way

[@prancstaman]

[@therealist1872]

What would you recommend for a ford excursion with a 8 in lift and running 37

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

We could set you up with a nice set of emulsion shocks like some from Radflo or Fox that would help the ride a bit. Is the lift all springs or block as well?

[@therealist1872]

BustedKnuckleVideo has blocks in it I want to be able to do the same thing you guys were doing in the video lol up hill

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

lol, better swap to 4link and coilovers if you want to do that

[@therealist1872]

BustedKnuckleVideo that’s the plan lol will I be able to tow still ?

[@carlosnegrao2428]

what are the spring rates on this buggy?

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

I dont know about this one but mine is 100 over 100 on the back and 100 over 200 on the front

[@jerrylewis1118]

what in your do you think is the best shock to run for on a rock bouncer

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

+Jerry Lewis Coilovers.

[@jerrylewis1118]

+BustedKnuckleVideo what kind a special brand

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

+Jerry Lewis They are all about the same really. fox, radflo etc. budget is key

[@bumpers06]
