Wheelbase (hub to hub) devided by horizontal length traveled up the ramp= Number
then multiply that Number by 1000 and that will give you your RTI.

For what ever degree inclien you are on at the loadingh dock (10-15 deg???) you scored well over 1000

we need measurements to see how far the shocks need to extend and contract.

Just gotta make sure to drive extra slow  ;D


Do you get any drive line binding, or bad vibs from the rear? I belive those are toy axles but i could be wrong.

i kept her under 40mph she was a little bouncy
there was a little shake from the rear ,but snapping the rear driveshaft down at the river earlier fixed it.yeh are you sure on the toy axls?
