:: Droop Settings
Set droop by measuring overall length of shock (from standoff to shock pin) while the chassis is elevated above your
working surface. The shocks should be fully extended.
Kit setup for front droop is 105mm shock length, and 127mm shock length for the rear.
If the shock length is too long, adjust by turning the droop screws clockwise.
If the shock length is too short, adjust by turning the droop screws counter-clockwise.
Front Droop:
Increasing front droop (loosen droop screws) will increase off-throttle steering. It also allows the
front end to lift more, giving more rear grip and less front grip on-power. Remember to never loosen the screws beyond
the FULL DROOP setting. Decreasing front droop (tighten droop screws) yields more on-power steering and quicker
response at the expense of some stability in bumpy sections. It will also give less off-throttle steering.
Rear Droop:
Increasing rear droop (loosen droop screws) will increase traction in bumpy sections, but will reduce
high-speed stability. Remember to never loosen the screws beyond the FULL DROOP setting. Decreasing rear droop
(tighten droop screws) will increase stability in high speed sections, but will reduce stability in bumpy sections.
Setup Sheets:
To find different setups for your kit, visit our website, https://www.associatedelectrics.com/teamassociated/and click
on the “Setup Sheets” link, and then the link to your model. Our team of professional drivers help develop these setups
at races worldwide. Additionally, most drivers have a “base” setup that they use as a starting point for most races.
Try running some of our base setups or look for track conditions and tires that are similar to your local track and
replicate that setup. Remember, each adjustment has a purpose, so copy everything from the setup sheet and then
make adjustments based on the recommendations in here.
