Ok so I have been having trouble bouncing. First couple pulls went fine, then I tried 4th gear and blew spider gears in the rear. Have not used 4th since but still have had trouble bouncing. First pull after repair I bounced off the line and reset to try it again. Slipped the clutch a lot further and had a decent pull but still got a bit of bounce at the end. Next pull with the same setup minus a different turbo did not bounce a bit. Next day bounced the truck off the track. Then last night I changed air pressure and still had a good bounce but it smothed out and ended up with a decent pull. I had been running 45psi all the way around on BFG AT's, and went to 30front and 50 rear last night. I have run the same blocks and traction bars all year, and the bars have pressure on them when the sled pulls down to the stops. Class requires 1" travel and no weights.
My question is what do you guys think is causing this? Tracks are usually pretty loose and sandy out here. Is it my bars not being adjustable? Tire pressures wrong? Not slipping the clutch enough? Or a combination of everything? Also I am running Rancho RS5000 shocks, which are a like a steering dampner they dont push up or down just dampen the motion. Possible problem with shocks?
Here is last nights video for some referance.
