RC Drift Spring Tuning! ReveD | MST | Yokomo
Рет қаралды 13,145
Күн бұрынI'm trying to see if I can get better movement out of my Sakura D5 front end.
The goal is for the car to really transfer weight front-to-rear under acceleration...for it to do that, I need the suspension to move more!
In this video, I try some springs from ReveD, MST, and Yokomo all to see how they perform.

I believe that in a 1:1 application the dual rate springs are advantageous for preventing/controlling body roll. But overall I’m pretty sure the idea is that the tighter wound coils always mount towards the top side. This will allow a soft feel when the springs are resting at ride height or under a small load like on a low grip surface, however when you need the rigidity to keep from bottoming out over a bump the tighter wound coils near the top will push back the more the shock is compressed. Keeping a more consistent feel over all. PSA: I’m not sure how much any of that actually matters on 1/10 scale, if it does make a difference I would say that’s pretty cool!

Fliping the spring has no effect at all. The dual rate springs can either be a fancy one pice or split in to 2 springs to make it cheaper. A spring only knows that there is a force applied, from ware its applied doesent matter

From what I can tell reading along many websites in regards of those and other springs, by placing them one or the other way, you essentially change the center of gravity. The tighter part of the spring is stiffer and therefore acts almost as a solid, allowing mostly the lighter part of the spring do the work. I hope I explained that well enough ^^
@RoadsideRC 14 күн бұрын
Your two paragraphs are independent - and that is true. Yes, placing the heavier part of the spring on the bottom will have a SMALL impact on cog. Yes - a progressive rate spring will allow the lighter portion to compress first.

@@RoadsideRC the tighter coils top or bottom bud. Depends on how far it moves before it stiffens up. Eg tight coil bottom means it’ll travel reasonably easily until it’s compressed to the tighter coil. Basically like a 2 stage spring.

I guess that the contact line down on the reveD front spring act as a pivot point for the spring and allowing it to roll more. Thus creating higher grip

I know this is an older video but... The softest one (iirc) have the product number ending in 009FS and they're not R-tune, the new R-tune stuff is basically the same as the older stuff but stiffer all round. As for the orientation of the spring, I dont know why but there is a different, its just some reve-d black magic, just trust them lol. I think on the front you'd benefit from the reve-d +6mm spring cups. I've also found on the front the pre load is finicky, I've ended up adjusting the pre load collar half a turn at a time to get it spot on. You'll see a larger benefit with some better shocks, OD or axon, I was sceptical at first but going from Yoko big bores to axon revo ii was a massive difference.

In terms of the spring.. Maybe the tighter wrapped end has more initial resistance on that end and though the spring is squished from both sides, the initial impact force always comes from below.

I like this - have an MST RMX 2.5 myself and currently trying to get the front to lift on throttle but having no luck despite using TR56 shocks with good springs I love the way my car drives but it barely lifts the front on throttle One thing I've found along my time researching this is motor orientation does it effect it...
@RoadsideRC 6 ай бұрын
Hi there! Shock and spring length is a key factor here. Those TR56 are shorter than the TR60, and use a shorter spring. Using the longest spring really help travel.
@RoadsideRC 6 ай бұрын
Also - I have NOT found that motor rotation has an impact. In fact, on this exact RDS, I have run the motor both directions and had good suspension results both times.

@@RoadsideRC Great to hear - I have my chassis static quite high off the ground I'd say and it might squat 2mm or so when I initiate throttle but other than that not much at all I have clearanced my chassis for allowing alot of droop too I think I'm looking into it too much, and if my chassis is fast and controllable I shouldn't complain haha, but I think it looks cool when a chassis has alot of squat on throttle

@jdmturtle2002 2 жыл бұрын
the upward movement of the front end does not actually shift more weight to the back. A spring is just a function on a graph mathematically with x axis as distance compressed and y axis as force. The same force applied to a more progressive spring (higher gradient) and a softer spring (lower gradient) will move the front end up to different positions, but that does not mean the softer spring is pushing the suspension any more than the stiffer one The point of the reved front spring is to make the suspension more progressive when angling the shocks in is not possible due to front wheel clearance. What it does is make the front end more 'planted' to the ground with weight shift from one side to the other happening faster when transitioning/initiating. As with the upside down spring mounting, its another Reved gimmick meant to sell ppl on the idea that their products make them know what theyre doing When u lifted the nose up to the highest it can go, it did not drop down after you let go. Check the arms for any resistance, and set the rebound for the front shocks so that it wants to come back down. Also the grip level is very different from concrete to carpet, and call for very different setups and FDR especially. A typical carpet tune is around FDR 8 while a low grip polished concrete is around 13. Keep the videos coming, wanna see more!
