In the video, it looks like the shock oil is maybe too thick coupled with shock pistons that have too small of holes; thus not allowing the shocks to get full travel and not getting a chance to do their job? That's my first guess. Going for big air and setting up the suspension to not allow the chassis take a big hit is a fine line in shock tuning.
I like to do a static drop of my RCs from about two feet off the ground. Having my buggy and trucks (ST/SC) to have the tiniest chassis slap at that 2' height is what I go for when setting up my vehicles, then I go test on my track for fine tuning. But what you got (Monster Truck & big air) is a whole different set-up.
Doing a static drop with your RC in front of you can help you determine what direction to go in when tuning your shocks.
Sorry not much help here.
That is a help. I was already thinking about bigger piston hole.
Also, my comrade and i shot the video, Go Seals!
I will mess around with some static drops. I find myself already doing this, but just out of liking to drop truck. I'll pay more attention to the suspension reactions and try some tuning with this technique.
Thanks again
