Greg, just one question

How often and what do you break on these trucks? Ken Irwin

How often and what do you break on these trucks? Ken Irwin

Breakin' hearts and taking names... ... .....



The only problem that has been seen is a balljoint getting loose. My truck did that before the T. Rex and it has not gotten any worse. Kent has broken a motor mount but that was in the Baja 500. And that was also after 15,000 miles of Baja testing in two years. The landing from that jump is very "Fluffy" as Kent would say. Almost as smooth as going up a driveway fast. With this system, I can hit a cub at 45 mph from an angle, and go over it without incident. Just like going over a speed bump.



The way it works:

The energy from the stress of a hit is soaked up by the longer travel of the shock. It is then changed into heat when the oil passes through the piston. The more you do it the hotter the shock gets. The funny thing is, when I am done with a jump session, usually 3or 4 jumps, they aren't that hot. This system has been designed over a couple of years and I feel it is probably an ongoing design process. If you think this picture is cool. Go get the new Four Wheeler and see the T-Rex truck in action.

So, what was your launch speed?

Man this isnt helping the time pass while saving money easy!

 

[Greg Boardman-RIP]

65 mph. The picture was taken a little early. I see 3 feet of air off that jump. With enough speed, I think I can get 4-5 feet off the ground and it lands great. At that speed, I will be carried 150+ feet... ... . :O

 

[pwerwagn]

Well, maybe I'll get lucky and someone will put their Fox T-rex system in the pay it foward forum. Or I could just stop racin and sell my dirtbike... ... ...

 

[Greg Boardman-RIP]

T-Rex is great but I go to the track and ride with Mr T-Rex once a week. We both agree that the bikes are great!

Be careful. I know of a guy who jumped his 12V Ram and on landing the motor mount bosses broke off the block. The oil pan had a nice dent across it from slamming into the crossmember. Not a warranty situation, so it was expensive.

Thanks Joe,



I'll make sure not to try and jump some clunky old undervalved truck!! :-laf

Be careful. I know of a guy who jumped his 12V Ram and on landing the motor mount bosses broke off the block.

That's because his cheap-o shocks bottomed out on impact and quit dissipating energy in a gradual manner, leaving the energy to be absorbed by the bumpstops and engine mounts. I can't wait until I get my t-rex!

Oo.
