What i hear is like a crying baby. the reason for your failure is you're an odd modder.
Actually I am a very good modder. I have several products in a different industry that people love to death. When I preformed the spring mod it was not on a buggy it was on a paintball marker. The ram assembly in a paintball marker is the same basic design as the piston in the buggies. The major difference between the two is the piston on a paint ball marker is sealed while the piston in a shock is not. I tried dual spring tension in these markers to try to improve the cycling speeds of the ram. By using a dual spring system you could increase or decrease the rams speed at a given distance based on the design of the spring.

I made spacers to keep the springs centered and tried different spring combinations just like you are doing. After I found the desired combination I made a spring for the marker I was testing. Through all my testing the use of a dual spring system, no matter what mods were done to it cause problems. These will be the same basic problems you face.


what i want to hear are given data. lenght of auxillary spring, how it performs on jumps, corners, humps, rocky areas, how exactly it fails for you, or perhaps you didn't get the right set up for you. far better to hear or discuss how to make it work for you but you're different and VERY COMMON.
I have done nothing here but try to explain the issues I think you are going to face. I showed you a working spring that does basically what you are trying to do so you would have a better idea of what you wanted to know about. In my last post I explained how to compare and contrast your design with the one in the picture above as well as design your own spring based off of your findings through testing. If I am crying it is news to me. It seems to be the other way around if you ask me, see statement below.

SO THAT'S ENOUGH. SINCE I DON'T GET ANY APPRECIATION FROM ANYBODY AT ALL, I'M SHUTTING DOWN THIS THREAD. NOBODY GETS REACTION FROM ME AGAIN. SO I HOPE EVERYBODY IS HAPPY NOW. WISH YOU ALL THE BEST! I SUGGEST YOU START BUYING SHOOTPAINTS SHOCKS ABSORBER WHEN IT GOES OUT IN THE MARKET. OH BABY, HOW"S THAT?


I wish I was producing an item that was worth while to purchase for the RC world but I am not. As I originally posted I was only trying to give you some constructive critism. It however seems like you took it personally. I havent attacked you or your idea. I have simply tried to show you the short comings of the design. Again I do wish you the best of luck with your trials and hope you will keep us informed as it is a good thing to see people try to think outside of the box.
