what can I do to improve my ride quality ? are there any other coil options with a lighter rate ? can moving the shock mounting points with the stock shocks increase travel ? what can I do with the stock shocks, I have a 1 year old, am building a race car so spending money on new shocks wont happen for a bit since the money could be better spent on the race car or other stuff now

If you want a softer ride and spend zero money, just back spring tension on the existing shocks. This is not easy to do without a couple of spring tesion tools to colopse the spring a little but easier than moving the mounts. My T2's ride is/was great. You are the first who was unhappy with the ride. Everyone else who has been changing/working on the shocks are over the edge type, including myself.

What kind of race car? I have a INEX Legends, sold my SpecRacer Ford last year.

I agree with rocmoc. To change suspension to make it really right, thus blast through the rough stuff without losing control or getting kicked all over, gets real involving with changing shock mounts, lowering the rear dif and dialing in along with $1000+ worth of shocks and springs. Just wait until that approach is all worked out and then copy someone else and just get it right the first time. Each of us has our own ideas on how to approach changing the suspension but I strongly sujest you follow flatbeds lead on this. I'm following him pretty close myself even though I have to try my own ideas somewhat. Flatbed generally, let me change that, pretty much always, scratch that too, is always far more correct. Flatbed has a long background in suspension from a professional suspension guy along with being a very suscessful offroad racer himself. You also might want to lower tire pressure. I have tried with stock tires 8#, 10#, 12# and now run 14#. I could knock the tire loose with 8#. 10# ran ok but I didn't hit anything major like say hitting a curb straight on at speed. 12# seemed to be the good spot so I added a little extra and run 14#.

Don't forget inner tubes. With inner tubes you can drop the tire pressure lower with more security but if you go down to 8#, bang it back up to 16# for normal use to save your tire walls.

Cheers Mike.

the ride is ok, but I hang with a rough group of guys, they have race rhinos, a class 5 open car and a 10 car. I want to be able to fly thru the woops.

As for the race car its a 69 nova that I will run in Psca limited street

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      Haven't been able to find a video on it.  How difficult is it to do and any tips, pics, diagrams, videos on it?

      Any Kioti K9 2400 owners joining for class action?
      By Unhappy Kioti K9 Owner
      I own a K9 with 50hrs that has been in for repair more than once the farm.  Multitude of issues, trying to file lemon on it but interested in knowing if owners are organizing for a class action suit.  The dealer informs me there are “a lot of owners very unhappy with these”.
      Thanks

      Can’t figure out what part I’m missing
      By Grant
      I recently bought an axis 500 and it’s missing a box or something the plug is L shaped I’ve looked through the wiring diagrams and still can’t figure it out. The plug is located right near the battery housing

      XY 600 GKE Replacement Engine options
      By SSgt1994
      Hello everyone, second time posted looking for assistance. First time you all were a great help!
      I have an 2013 XY Powersports 600GKE UTV, sweet little machine when she was running. My youngest last fall get it covered in mud, and then blew the engine. I mean she doesn't start any more, and we've even tried rebuilding it since he's in a Vocational School for Power Sports and Diesel course, but no luck.
      One of the other members (NVM"something") was really knowledgeable about the machine I had and the engine, all I can tell you is its a CFMoto. If I can't find a replacement, does anyone know if there is one that it can be easily swapped out with, or even minor modifications.
       
      Thanks!
      Myron
