Hello, was wandering about 2wd mid motor droop settings, can anyone help me please?

Should droop be about the same front and rear as a starting point? So if using a low profile front tyre, for example, you would need to increace front droop to composate?

What would be a good starting point for carpet with large jumps? I measure droop by ride height at full suspension droop. My ride height for carpet is 19mm.

Thank you for any help!:thumbsup:

im very much a non expert here but i have found our recently that making your droop even both ends or slightly less on the front will make your car easier to drive. how much droop? well i'd go for the maximum even amount to begin with, ie if your rear droop is less than front then decrease the front or vice versa. then any decreases overall after that will make your car roll less and therefore transfer less weight in all directions. will also make it bottom out quicker.

like you say tyre choice can throw all your droop out, as can moving the shock positions on the wishbone. and as most 2wds dont have a droop adjustment facility it will all have to be done via internal shock limiters. all a bit of a ball ache but can make big differences in handling
