Every driver Ive spoken too loves the car box stock...if there are a few tweaks to make it a tad better Im all ears. I will OBVIOUSLY have to test and tune but judging from all the great feedback, Ive also swapped out the plastic suspension mounts in favor of the ally bits for more tuning options and durability...the stock setup is great...that being said what degree are the stock caster blocks?
0 degrees

Me and Ian Southwell did halfway throught the day at Eden Park yesterday,
The main improvement was the car was more stable over the bumpy sections.
We used the same oil and pistions, just cut the centre out of the bladder.

when I owned the 22 I felt the same exact thing. way more stable off and after jumps too. Once it lands its just feels more planted...less bounce and more consistent like the tamiya style shocks

Emulsion is a different shock setup where you dont utilize the bladder. You set up the shock with a little pocket of air inside and it sort of "blends" with the shock oil. You can tune rebound more accurately this way too. the adjustment of the shock to the terrain is more efficient..imo...because the air/oil mixure is constantly adjusting whereas with a bladder, you have to rely on the actual bladder to separate the oil and adjust to rebound, and sometimes as you run the car the consistency of the bladder will change whereas with the emulsion type shock setup, the dampening is more consistent for a longer period of time. For the 22 to convert the shocks to emulsion all you had to do was cut out the center piece of the bladder till it looks like an o-ring and then build from there. There are some tips on youtube that mike truhe shows on the shocks for the 22 if you need to see it happen to understand it.

Personally I hate building bladder shocks, I never had the best luck getting the rebound the same front to left. Maybe Im not the best at it but when I build emulsion type shocks they come out the same no matter what. And they feel better on the track

Just to drag up an old thread.

I switched to the Schumacher heavy duty bladders (I think they're from the mi4 shocks?) and they seem more consistent, easier to build.

cool. I think Im going to stick with emulsion set up for now. And test bladders at another time. Car feels more settled this way.
