Hi there, i am new to this hobby and just got a 2nd HF, need some advice from you guys. I am driving a HPI HellFire with stock suspension (i think).how do i know if the shock is too soft or too hard? Is there a difference setting if i run on tarmat road and off road track.
I run the truck the last time on a tarmat road , and almost every power slide i do or hard turn i take the truck will flip over. Now..
-how do i strengten the shock ?
-wat i a shock clip for?
-the number on the oil?
- wat does piston hole side affect the shock?
-any nice setting aly one can recommend.
Thanks Guy
HPI offers various springs for the HF. Check your manual and mount 10lb springs front and rear. Use 50w shock oil front and rear. Set ride height so that arms are level in the rear and slightly up in the front. Use road rage onroad tires. Unless your track is huge, use a 12t or 13t clutch bell. Set your camber 2 degrees front and 3 degrees rear. This setup is only for onroad. Offroad is another matter.
