RC-Project Tappi Ammortizzatori V2 TNG per Agama 1 

The whole project has been revised compared to V1, now the Shock Cap can work as Bladder or Emulsion.

The NEW V2 Shock Cap now has 4 bleed holes (there were 3 on V1) and a new inclined hole to sceure an M2 screw.

The NEW V2 Shock Cap can also be used for Vented System (only in combination with honeycomb bladders).

The inner chamber has been re-designed to maximize the performance both in emulsion or bladder system.

Allen Screw for Emulsion: after several disappointing tests with commercial screws, we decided to design and produce our own Allen screw for V2 Shock Caps.

Specifications:

- Material:  Alloy steel with strength class 12.9 (1200 N/mm²)

- Coating: Nickel

- Design: we designed a groove at the end of the thread, so a small 0.6mm section O-ring can fit. This O-ring, compressing, will create a seal between the screw and the hole. Zero air or oil leaks guaranteed.

Emulsion Seals: the emulsion screw seal has a rectangular cross-section with a small pocket aimed to facilitate and speed up operations, this will also ensure that the seal is not damaged during the disassembly process.

Honeycomb Bladders: the bladders have been completely redesigned to work inside the new Shock Caps. Volumes, sections and hardness have been re-designed to have almost zero-rebound during assembly, and to limit as much as possible the rebound gain that normally happens after each run.

The bladders have a concavity to make room to the piston retainer nut, so the up-travel isn’t limited (like happens with some other bladders). This innovative design also avoid any risk of damaging the bladder under heavy hits, maintaining a linear movement of the shaft.

Bumpy Bladders: this new option was not present in the previous V1 and was a big surprise for our test drivers. It is an in-between emulsion and honeycomb: not suited for all conditions but where they worked the results in terms of performances were amazing.

The air side design provides an internal grid that connects and reinforces the central and lateral sides allowing the bladder to maintain its original shape even under big hits. 

The oil side design shares the same honeycombs’ philosophy.
