hi
i was about to change my shock angle and iwas woundring what will be the best for high jumps?
more inclined shock angle, moving the top closer to the chassis and/or moving the bottom closer to the tire?
OR
less inclined shock angle, standing up the shock, moving the top closer to the tire and/or bottom closer to the chassis?
AND also woundring what will be the diffrent of changing inboard toe angle adjustments?
by the way i have a robitronic mantis 1/8 scale truggt.[>:]

Closer in( Inbound) equals softer springs, "Thats bottem out"/ "Tops in". Further out( More Verticle ) will make it stiffer. "Lower in Top out" Thats all i know myself, hope this helps!!

Be careful with the tops in bottoms out angle, I tried it on a track with many jumps and after a couple laps ripped the rear left hinge pin out. I guess the lower angle puts a lot more stress on the back plate.

More verticle=stiffer. Better for jumps.
More horizontal= softer and quicker. Better for racing.
I changed the shock angle on my micro t to more verticle, and it worked well.
