drag racing a buggy
 

hi everyone i have a quick question when you are drag racing a buggy whats the best way to set the shocks stiff or soft

it depends on the surface you are running... you want the vehicle to transfer the weight of the vehicle as evenly as possible when you try to explode off the line. In other words, you want a happy median with soft and firm suspension.

A lot of variables but if it was me I would try to set the rear as soft as possible without un controlled wheelies. Keep softening till that happens and then stiffen up a tad. Zero toe in or toe out both front and rear is the fastest but may also be harder to drive in a straight line. Try to run with a half tank or less of fuel, unless this presents tuning problems. 4 aa batteries instead of a hump pack and set a wing to neutral or take it off to reduce wind resistance. Any reduction in weight and resistance, check your bearings also, equals more speed. Good luck.
