downward travle
Hi I bought a cen CT5. I had posted something in the cars section
adn got some answers. But I still have one. What is downward travel
adjustment on the rear suspension. Actually do and what is the advantage
of adding or taking away. Sorry for asking but I am new to a fully adjustable
car setup. Just trying to get as much info as I can so I can tune it properly.
Thanks

Do not despair.[
] The downward travel adjustment, also known as droop, is used to help raise or lower the center of gravity (CG) slightly. On electric on-road carpet cars, it's usually about 4.5mm. On nitro cars, usually 5 to 6 mm. It's also used to keep the bottom of your car from scraping excessively on the carpet or pavement. The lower you can go, the more bite your tires will have.
