Before I get to some key points in the build, I'd like to give a big thanks to the Carter family. I know they make decisions as a team. It's awesome that they chose to work with Dynamite Design, and let us get our hands on the type of project we firmly believe we're bred to do.
So first, and obviously we are dealing with a solid axle race car that has to be designed around very high speeds, and also has to work well in the rocks, and do both for endurance periods of time. It will be built to compete.... Not only for many years to come, but on many different types of tracks and terrain.
Went with Fox racing shocks for the build. They optimized the shock budget, for the total control and tunability we were after, and can easily be rebuilt whenever and where ever needed.
2 inch x 14 coil-over/carrier on all 4 corners.
3 inch, 7 zone bypasses. 14's front - 16's rear.
I feel sure we can tune this car for any type of race, hands down.
Adam is going to be in the drivers seat for a long period of time, most every time he see's a green flag. Judging by he could probably do rock trails with his eyes closed. My objective is to move his butt as far towards the front of the vehicle as possible, all while being roomy, so he is most comfortable at high speed, and floor boarded. I want him to be affected as little as possible by the gnarly thrashing of the rear end.
It won't be trophy truck heavy, but heavy enough to keep the tires down at speed.
We are going to build a ride that will compliment his driving style by being consistent on %100 of track, and will have that extra woo-pow when he's ready to cut it loose.
