hey peeps......

Does anyone know a good starting point for droop?

From what Ive found 1/10 TC are about 4-6mm

but i dont have a clue for 2wd SCT's

Ive been trying to compare 1/10 stadium trucks to 1/8 buggies to get a average that might be a good starting point for a SCT.

But the problem is most guys are measuring the shock length not the actual chassis droop, so I dont have a clue...

And 2 other questions

whats the stock shock lengths for a slash 2wd?

whats the shock lengths for the proline powerstroke shocks?


Just encase anyone is wondering, im running losi XXX-NT shocks on a slash, and I dont have the original shocks anymore.
I suspect the front ones are to long and are not helping the traction roll problems in a slash.
Last time I was at a high bite carpet track it was bicycling around the high speed bends, stiffer front and rear springs have helped some what. but I swear ive lost some traction when turning in.
