RE: Droop
Cheers m8, I've got a great therodical understanding of the effects of droop, and there are some very important points that have not been mentioned. Like weight transfer, turn in, and on/off power steering and traction
Here is the thing, I'm setting it up not for bashing, and my local track only races 1/8 Offroad, so I dare say there setups would be very different from a 2wd slash, allso I don't go there when they are racing. So generally when I'm there there is no one there. I'm not to keen on the idea of going on a race day to ask random people about there droop settings. I would rather get to know the local racers first.
I'm really happy with the cars rear traction, but it can't change directions very well and the turn in is very extreme, even for a 2wd.
Last time at the track I suspect the spring rate was way to soft... Losi 2.5 pink front and red rear. I'm now running blue front and green rear, it's heapse more stable now. But it's still not right.
I strongly suspect that I'm running excessive droop in the front compared to the stock traxxas shocks. All I'm doing is trying to get a comparison of what I'm currently running to a stock slash.
I would argue that on 2wd off roaders droop can be very benifisial. More so than 4wd's esspically on the loose track I'm paning to run on
But the slash would really benefit from the reduced cog from a slight decrease in droop
