Very well actually. I burned a whole tank of gas today pounding the wee out of it. It was so slippery I had a hard time telling how it will react on a solid surface.  I didnt break it and I tried pretty hard. I jumped it at least a couple a dozen times... Freekin sweet! Its so soft that I cant tell if I actually came off the ground! I had to ask whoever was watching. Without a doubt, it rallys, and jumps better than anything Ive ever driven.  ;D


This was me all day!----------> ;D

Great to hear it seems to be working well first time out. Looking forward to hearing how it goes when you give it a variety of situations to really test it's full potential. I take it we will be seeing a nice article for Zukiworld coming out of this one  ;D

Great to hear it performed better than expected. Sweet pic. So who was brave enough to stand in the same area as you 'trying' out the new suspension, and take pics?

Excellent! Nice work. I love that feeling of reward for all the hard work. The "back to the drawing board" statement get's old in a hurry. I hope my design turns out so well. It can be frustrating but it keeps the brain working and test drives are soooo fun.  ;D
