Thanks for taking the time to explain. I was wondering when I saw you in Detroit.. One of our drivers ran his upside down and when I watched, it seemed like he had better traction on the downsides..
I wonder if the difference is related to the emulsion. Inverted, the piston is moving away from the air bubbles under compression, and should never reach them except at full droop. That might change the initial damping or make it less sensitive to how the air-oil mixture is shaken up after a landing.
I was about to comment regarding the same thing but first had to check whether somebody already commented about it :). There was some wrestling going on :D. And thank you for the video, SR.
This is interesting. I know MX went to the "upside-down" (now considered normal) way to ensure the oil seals were always coated in oil to keep them smooth. I wonder how the dry O-rings will wear / feel over over time and race. Also, I wonder if this opens a conversations about people just running thicker oils / smaller pistons on non-ASC cars.
why the hell would you want to add unsprung weight. in every motorsport people go to great lengths to reduce it. how do the shocks work better with more unsprung weight?
Always coming out with the most info in all of your videos 🔥 love the videos Spencer keep them coming!!
Thanks! Will do!

I’m running the b6.4 and lose time in the corners and over the jumps. Have you get a set sheet I can go off for EOS carpet indoor.
Have you tried this on 1/8 e-buggy or nitro-buggy? Thanks
Would this work on 4x4 e-buggy?
Great explanation......
How would it fair on a basher

Gravity doesn't change no matter how the shock is mounted.
Great info 🔥
Glad you think so!
going back to the 80's :)
Is that schumacher spring? any benefit compared to the AE's?
Schumacher black spring is stiffer than stiffest AE (yellow)
1:54 what is bro doin in the window 🤣🤣🤣

What rear shock springs are those?
Schumacher springs and cups
1:55 LMAO WTF?
What better confirmation than from the first ever and youngest ifmar world champion on carpet
Your team mate Tommy Hall has done some good videos on this
I did this about 1 and 1/2 months ago and me personally it gave me a ton of stearing.
Wonder how it affects touring cars... Hmmm

More rc vids the better
Shocks have been run this way before you were born, 1986 Associated ran shocks upside down. I would bet this is more sprung vs unsprung than lower CG
That’s why I stated in the video that we weren’t the first to do it this has been done before. 💪🏼
@@spencerrivkinracing I tuned out before you probably explained.
@@DoubleClutchProductions so you just commented to be a troll.. Nice.
Not if you watch Tommy Hall's latest video on upside down shocks
Yes
