DROOP

SHOCK MOUNTING POSITIONS

SHOCK OIL

SHOCK SPRINGS

Springs

Characteristics

Softer

Front

Produce more steering

Rear

Helpful on rough tracks but may hamper jumping ability and allow the chassis to bottom out much easier

Firmer

Front

Decrease steering response

Rear

Good for big jumps and high-traction surfaces

Droop

Characteristics

More

Front

Increases on-power steering and lets the rear of the vehicle roll more when applying throttle

Rear

Increases off-power steering and lets the front of the vehicle roll more when removing throttle

Less

Front

Decrease steering response

Rear

Good for high-traction surfaces

Shock Oil

Characteristics

Lighter

Responds quicker and creates more chassis roll

Use lighter oil as it gets colder

Heavier

Reacts slower and creates less chassis roll

Use heavier oil as it gets warmer

Always measure the droop (down travel) with the shocks on the vehicle. Droop is measured from the center of the top shock mount to the center of the bottom shock screw. More front and 
rear droop will accelerate better in bumps when going straight, but can cause the vehicle to traction roll in rough turns. Less front and rear droop will slide over bumps better in turns and may 
be better on high-speed and high-traction tracks.

Moving the shocks in on the tower makes the vehicle more forgiving. Moving the shocks 
out on the tower makes the vehicle more responsive and better for technical tracks.

Adjust oil weight when there is a drastic temperature change (20 - 25° F/12 - 14°C)
