In contrast, most of my car setups have me extending my droop by backing out the shock ball ends a few turns.

Traction roll is typically mitigated with ride height, which was listed as the #1 priority adjustment in the chart I linked earlier. These guys should start with a good baseline setup before blindly making any other tuning changes, they could have their cars so far out of whack they could easily create bigger problems elsewhere. It's better to start in the center of the tuning window rather than in a far corner which will drastically limit your options

oh single out my post..... heheh but yeah correct me if im wrong but do any of the vehicles he has offer drop tabs? (emass, rustler, pede)

and i respectfully disagree.... nearly every traxxas vehicles ive played with has to much suspension and i recommend it as one of the first things to do not the last, and by doing it, it can reduced the ride height witch is one of the first things u reccomend lol

and.... if ya struggling cutting fuel hose to the same length, traxxas has some little blue bump stops that are perfect and protect the piston and the bottom of the housing
