Episode 9 Shocks Part 2

Investigate how damping is affected by temperature, spring rates, shock mounting, number and size of piston holes and oil viscosity. Visit the RC Crew Chief Website www.wrightdesign.rccrewchief.ca for more details. @RCCrewChief

Fantastic explanation

[@RCCrewChief]

Thanks guys. Trying to pass on some knowledge. Sincerely appreciate the encouragement

[@michelecirillo6180]

Great videos. I'm learning a lot and very grateful for that!

[@pedroferrari1]

Your videos are Great! Thanks!

Hi, first of all I must say that these videos are great. The challenge is to understand all these things in real life :)
I was wondering about a little thing.. I recently saw an ad for damper pistons where the holes were of different size. Have you been able to model that in RCC? (Or the shock dyno guys?)
I suspect the Damping Ratio to Wheel Velocity curve might be non-linear for a wider range of speeds?

[@RCCrewChief]

Having multiple hole sizes in the same piston is something I may add in the future. It would change the Low-high speed damping characteristics. At low piston speed the larger holes would make the damping softer and at high speed the smaller holes would increase the damping for landing off jumps .....

what software u use?
