RaceRangers Build

Nice shot!

How much travel are you getting out of the front end, do you know? I'm curious to see how much uptravel and drop out there is. Also, do you know what the compressed and extended eye to eye dimensions are on those shocks you're running up front? Sorry for all the technical questions

truck is 9" up travel and 9" of droop..I THINK the compressed length is 18" and 32" extended

thanks! I was working on the shock layout for the RC build and was curious what you were getting out of yours.

 

[markpetersonii]

DANG! You're getting a ton of travel!

You wouldn't by chance have a picture of the backside of the beams where the links from the chassis attach would ya?

umm no but i will try and snap one for ya in a bit

 

[NickRummy]

actually check out my RC build first. Let me know if what I designed is pretty accurate. That's all I was looking for.

Ok I did come up with another question.... What is your track width front and rear? Outside of tire to outside of tire.

Those jump pictures are excellent. Good job RR97. If I am ever passing by Fresno again to go up north. You think we can possibly arrange a meet? I would very much love to see this Ranger in person.

thanks man, yeah lemme know..im down to meet up.

went to pismo for thankgiving..drove a tad harder than i should have, not a single straight line left in my radius arms lol

[RaceRanger97]

Damn Man! You just love to tease us don't you. What you do to the radius arms, Tweak em all to shit? It's time to weld plates on them for reinforcement.

I will let you know, it will possibly be in Jan sometime. Depends on my work schedule.

yeah, probably will just make a new set when I have time.
