Re: CRIO Shock rating

The CRIO is pretty sturdy, but I'm not sure about the shock rating on the Jaguars or Victors. Or the relays or any of that stuff, really.

I'm thinking that if you put about a 1" layer of foam between the control system and chassis that you'll absorb a fair bit of the impact.

It might also help to have a foam layer isolating the battery from the chassis, just to reduce loading on the frame, axles and wheels.

And if you're mounting a compressor, you might want something a bit sturdier than the little rubber standoffs (at least on their own) we've managed to shear them just by hitting a wall at high speed.
