    Default NovaKar rubber

    I'm interested in finding out if the Novakar rubber setup provides a significant amount of rebound dampening or is this accomplished by adjusting the torque values of the pivot bolts on the bellcranks? I am driving an Invader and am thinking of upgrading to Novakar rubber suspension system to take advantage of what seems to be superior rebound dampening compared to what is currently in my car.

    Yes the NovaKar rubber suspension works very well. In fact the first 2 cars at the Runoffs had our rubber suspension. The car that was 2nd was a KBS conversion that had our suspension on the car.

    Recently my elastomer supplier went belly up and I am working with a new supplier to test the compounds to make sure they are what works. We should have new parts by jan 1.

    The KBS/Invader conversion is not a simple matter and requires some frame welding.

    Get in touch with me, Chris Ross or Clint McMahan if you want more info.
