Way back in the day I would build these shocks with some amount of pressure in them to help resist bottoming out. The mountain bike nerd in me was so sure that would be better. As I’ve tuned and tested and learned from people who’ve been doing this much longer than me. I’ve come to understand, on low grip, you really need the suspension to move in order to create grip so these days I build the shocks very neutral and rely on the damping and spring rates to get the job done.

Very first pack! The slipper is too loose (I forgot to set it 😬) and I think this car wants a little more pinion but I gotta tighten up the clutch first. Even with that I can tell, the handling is a generation apart from the 89 stealth car. They’re both very smooth driving buggies. The rb10 retro FT is a different experience though. Extremely planted, easy to drive, you can put power down or brake earlier without spinning out. It’s gonna be a ton of fun to log a bunch of time on.

Say hello to the newest members of my rear motor fleet!

90’s geometry with some carbon flair.

Things changed a bit moving into the 2000’s!

That RB10 is sleek but there’s something about that rolled metal motor guard that just screams offroad buggy!

The black paint on the box is classic but I had to. The green is so good!

I should be able to see that!

Time to get them dirty!

There’s something cathartic about building shocks. What can I say? I’ve always loved messing with suspension!

And now, my favorite part of any build. Damper day!

Another night, another good wrench sesh. Turnbuckles, shocks and ‘tronics left to do. Then cut out the body I’ve already painted and we’re on dirt!

Come along as we build a ball diff.

Got the ‘91 Vegas car buttoned up. Bench cleaned up. Time for the next build!

Masking the body. Sometimes it’s therapeutic and sometimes it’s real frustrating. What tricks do you have to make it lean more therapeutic?
