Suspension
Front
The front suspension has a mono damper layout with a Belleville washer stack.
Springs and dampers
There are the following spring options available:
| 600 lbs/in | 700 lbs/in | 800 lbs/in | 900 lbs/in | 1000 lbs/in | 1100 lbs/in | 1200 lbs/in | 1300 lbs/in |
Gearbox
The IFM car comes with a six speed gearbox. The reverse gear and the final drive ratios are fixed. The gear ratios for all other gears can be adjusted. There are 3 possible ratios for the first gear and 19 possible ratios for the 2nd to 6th gear available to chose from.
Differential
Locking percentage
The differential is adjustable in preload and power/coast locking percentage. The locking percentage is adjustable through the following ramp angles:
| Power/Coast | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50°/50° | 45°/90° | 23°/45° | 35°/35° | 60°/37° | 50°/65° |
In the following table you can see what locking percentage each ramp angle equals:
