This is my knowldge about the 5 ways to build the shocks:
1. Standard shocks: - built as per instruction manual - using the Diaphragms 2. Standard shocks with vented caps: - built as per instruction manual, but the shock cap is replaced by 4209 - letting away the screw allows a very "sensitve" working of the suspension, but no more rebound 3. Shocks with vented caps, emulsion - build without the bladders /diaphragms but with vented caps - maximum possible sensitivity, but not very usable on tracks with huge jumps - the vented caps come with O-rings, so no need to cut the bladders /diaphragms 4. Standard shocks, emulsion - build as per instruction, but the bladder is "cut away", but you need the outer ring of the bladder as the seal for the shock cap. - more grip on slippery surfaces - note taht after a flip over it may take a few seconds that the oil can "damp" and after a while the oil fully filled with bubbles 5. Standard shocks, foam - built as pert instruction, but above the bladder/diaphragm there is a block of foam - very stiff suspension And now, the team drivers can correct me. |

I believe the bladder type shocks are a bit better on tracks with large jumps and helps to prevent the chassis bottoming out, whereas the emulsion type are better on tracks with rougher sections. I prefer emulsion type as it seems to calm the car down at our track. I presume running with vented bladders would be somewhere I between the two.
As Juergen has said maybe a pro driver will correct us but that's how I find them. |

So when I am looking at the set up sheets and they state that they are Emulsion shock caps , but Vented is not ticked then these are the O rings only with the standard damper cap contained in the kit ?
Or are they really the vented caps (filled through the vent ?) to avoid excess air with the emulsion O ring in place - In which case it would make more sense to tick both Vented AND Emulsion boxes on the set up sheet ?!? |
