Joe's FLM build

[jhautz]

Joe,

What are the green pieces of what looks like rope holding your suspension from extending all the way? Is this something you made or something you bought. I am looking for a good travel limiter for the savage.

Where did you get it?

Sorry for missing the answer on this. This is a tip I picked up from savage central. Essentially it's just a piece of nylon string/rope or equivalent that u can buy from local hardware store. I rope it round the tower to the thingie (what's that word) connected to the tie rod (rod end ?) at both ends. The main intention is to limit the over extension of the shocks to protect them when the trucks lands. A crude equivalent to what droop screws do in a buggy or truggy.

Regards,
Joe Ling

PS : I'll try to shoot a few details if you say the quality of my photographs are good . Out out out ! Sorry, my ego trying to take over there

Thanks Joe. Yea. Id like to see how its set up in a little more detail. I want to limit the down travel of the arms a bit and I feel that just shortning the stroke on the shocks will just tear the shocks apart in any kind of crash.
