i was about to change my shock angle and iwas woundring what will be the best for high jumps?
more inclined shock angle, moving the top closer to the chassis and/or moving the bottom closer to the tire?
OR

less inclined shock angle, standing up the shock, moving the top closer to the tire and/or bottom closer to the chassis?

AND also woundring what will be the diffrent of changing inboard toe angle adjustments?

by the way i have a robitronic mantis 1/8 scale truggt.

More horizontal= softer and quicker. Better for racing.
I changed the shock angle on my micro t to more verticle, and it worked well.
