Hi
Can any explain the difference in handling between the 2 type shocks??

Carpet racing 13,5 blinky on sorex 28 tyres


Thanks in advance

Speaking to a team driver yesterday where we were both racing 13.5 blinky, he often prefers the old shocks as he said he can 'lean' on the car a bit more in some corners with it being better over the bumps.

I also tried the '17 and '18 shocks back to back yesterday at the same meeting.

I preferred the '18 shocks as it seemed to make the car flatter during cornering, it felt as though the '17 shocks were smoother but some some reason I found it harder to drive.

I was faster with the '18 shocks. I don't think he went back to the '18 shocks again as he changed them after practice and kept with the '17's.

It might be one of those changes which varies from driver to driver.

(The '18 shocks were worse outside with a slightly bumpy track.)

Addressing a group driver yesterday where we were both dashing 13.5 blinkies, he frequently inclines toward the old stuns as he said he can 'lean' on the vehicle more in certain corners with it being better over the knocks.
I additionally attempted the '17 and '18 stun consecutive yesterday at a similar gathering. I favored the '18 stuns as it appeared to make the vehicle compliment amid cornering, it felt as if the '17 stuns were smoother yet some reason I thought that it was more earnestly to drive.
I was quicker with the '18 stuns. I don't think he returned to the '18 stuns again as he transformed them after training and kept with the '17's. It may be one of those progressions which change from driver to driver.
