How is your buggy racing going? Too bad about covid but glad to see new blood entering this amazing hobby/sport.

Everybody knows where droop screws are.

control Arms lower

You set thr droop to whatever the set up sheet tells you to. Then fine tune from there

General Pointers More Droop - Better handling on bumpy tracks, more consistent traction on difficult tracks. More weight distribution and will remove ‘twitchiness’ and is better for slow speed corners. Less Droop - Car changes direction faster and corners flatter. Generally feels more responsive and direct. Better suited for high- speed smooth tracks.

Adjust your tie rods perfectly even. Adjust your toe perfectly even. And adjust your steering trim so it tracks perfectly straight

You're loose and out of control because your car has too much power. Dial back your power to 70-80% and adjust your radio Expo to make the power roll on softer. And practice throttle control with your finger. Try running M3 or X4 Holeshots. Droop is a fine tuning tool

Very little droop. You want heavy springs, heavy oils, low ride height, and very little droop.

@@wheels.and.wrenches ok, thanks! I always thought a ball differetial was smoother and better for handling than a gear diff, but alot of people say that a gear diff is the way to go on carpet?

@@theringmaster3684 little late but the thing is that a gear diff can take much more beating and dont slip as a balldiff would do and if it slips it shave of the balls and the diff starts to be un smoth and the loop of slip create more loose diff that slip more and so on.

WayneRc You would first make sure you're running the right tires. 2nd you need to make sure your diffs have the right weight oil in them. If those 2 things are okay, then to add rear traction you can add rear toe by moving the D Block OUT. You can lower the rear Links on the tower. You can soften the rear suspension. You can also try a lighter rear sway bar. Most importantly, traction is controlled by precise throttle control with your finger.

It says in the beginning of the video 👍

Yeah

Limit the shock length internally. Put silicon tubing over the shaft to limit the down travel. Your shock will be much shorter, and your truck will sit much lower. Put heavy weight oil in your shocks... around 500 to 600 try. And you also need a good radio so you can slow down your steering speed and turn down the sensitivity. This is a must for carpet racing

@@wheels.and.wrenches all suspension settings are time delay settings.

Droop is limited by the shock length. 14" shocks are plenty. The front axle droop can definitely be a problem because the driveshaft is offset obviously.

This isn't really a set up. Its an explanation of what droop is and what it does.

?

A new driver should set the droop to a factory setup sheet. Before knowing what all the adjustments do start with a setup sheet that is for ie. rough track, lose track, blue groove(the track is very smooth and compacted and develops a blue tint) etc. Then after you have a good preexisting setup you can start messing with droop and other things to see what they do. When it comes to tires just see what the other guys are running. Also the trim settings on your radio should be set at less speed and response so your car is forgiving. Otherwise watch loads of videos and have fun. Don't get too stressed...driving ability comes with practice. If you don't have a track near you or you can't go to a track often just find or make an area or track to play on. Some skateparks and open offroad areas work fine. You can even set up cones in a parking lot to race around. Best wishes and good luck!
