Hey guys just tryin to get some hints on hoppin,im on the other side of the world and theres no big air hoppers over here,i've hopped a bout 3-4 cars but nothin over 20inches(ok stop laughin!)there's a caddy over here it came from L.A., its got 12 bats and 2 pumps, mild reinforce'n but i can only get it to hop about 15-20inches, i read on a post that you hold the dump on, and release it when the wheel touches the ground? any help would be great, most of the cars run 36-48volts, 2 pumps,and that caddy is runnin 72volts, 2 banks of 6bats,I've watched a few dvd's YOUNG HOGG,O.G. RIDER,but cant see it very well,so if you guys have any pointers or tips,any help would be great!

u have the right idea hold the dump open when the car is in the air and power up when the tire hit the ground.... its just getting used to ur car u'll get it ....maybe someone else might do it differnt but thats how i hop .......

 

[kiwilac]

..........would you power up before the spring compresses, ie on the way down, or, on the way up after the spring has compressed?...

What does it mean to dump your car or hold the dump...Is dumping you your is where you lower it right??..

yeah man, when you dump it, you dump all the juice outta the rams an the car comes down

 

[Hi-Lo]

So when you're hopping...When the car is in the air you hold the dump and then when the tire is about to hit the ground you release the dump and hit the switch as if you were raising the car...??

a slow down valve is an adjustable valve that lets the car come down slowly, or quickly,

How do you guys have your Slow Downs adjusted?? Is it better to have your car come down slowly or quickly??...Or does it even matter??..
