question about Droop - rocco79 - 02-11-2006
Droop is the amount the lower arms drop past level...
For smooth track droop should be limited... And for ruff tracks you should have more to allow the suspention to work better..
Im sure someone else can explain it better.
question about Droop - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 02-12-2006
if u are looking for more on power steering, limit front droop. Also, if u are traction rolling a lot limit the rear droop. However, if the ass end is hitting alot and upsetting the car off big jumps use more droop.
Usually more droop equals more traction. In most cases not all

so then how do you change it on your car??

Notochord: On the arms there are set screws that push down on the chassi that limit the droop, they are on 1/8th scale buggys and Truggys and I wanna say some onroaders.
Mike: Thanks for the input I thought that less droop would mean more traction but I guess then if you limit it you dont get the weight transfer to the front or back.

when you adjust the droop do you go like 1 or 2mm at a time or would you have to go more to be able to tell a difference of its affects?
