For anyone wondering the importance of droop, it not only affects how your car lands, but it plays a huge role in weight transfer on and off power, which can dramatically affect grip and rotation. It can also play a big role in the bumps. Droop and ride height are two of the most overlooked settings by outdoor offroad racers, considering how drastically they affect the car.

The easiest way to get tow is to have 2 flat hard metal plates and bolt onto the tires and measure the back and the front. It doesn't get any more accurate than that. But that system you have is Awesome to.

Sick paint job! I raced my ET48 2.0 for the first time this weekend, and man is it good! First time ever driving a truggy and beat my personal fastest lap by almost a second. Its so smooth and turns so well! Now to make my EB48 2.0 even better...

Just built my first kit! I've been racing for 3 years but always 2nd hand cars. Building a new kit I have learned so much about setup, and having my old car, I was able to compare how everything was setup, and I will definitely have a better car now, when I throw it down on the track! Great vid!👍

Up front, the dark blue gives it a contrasting deep 3D look. You need to keep it just the way it is. He did an awesome job on it. It will grow on you as people tell you just how awesome it looks. The more I'm looking at this, the more it pops with that deeper blue color,

It’s watching vids like this that reminds me that even after six months of obsessing over RCs, I’m still a total noob. Didn’t know front suspension should be “flat” and slightly lower than the rear. And didn’t actually appreciate that winding the shocks tighter increases ground clearance. Totally obvious really. Big Rock now set up so much better on Typhon 6S shocks…..assuming everything you’ve shown applies to an MT.

Excellent video! Should get you in the ballpark but with a race vehicle people really need to understand how changing those settings will affect performance! Also, think it would be great if you did a video with more basic setup tools for beginners 👍

Anyways great job as always, take care man!

Hi Mark. Mine name is Tony, i'm from Belgium. I have also the Hudy setup station but for offroad 1/10. I noticed when i set mine camber -2° on the setup station and afterward i measure it again with a camber tool than i have -0°. It means that i need to go to - 4° on the setup station to have a - 2° with tires and measure it with a camber tool (gauge) to be correct.

Did you use the droop blocks when you set toe & camber, like the manual instructs?

@drew-ie9xw 2 жыл бұрын

Turning the callors on the shocks to lowering the vehicle like this increases spring rate. With those rates changed you may need to change the shock oil weight.

Are you running equal shock shaft tension on o ring stack tension on all 4 shocks? Your shock shafts should slide with under 15grams of force to be pro built based on logics , physics, and accuracy.
