front droop

[nebulizer]

As I am new to loose dirt racing I have finally realized the importance of "droop". This is easily achieved in the rear but I am having difficulty creating this in the front. Got any tips for me Mr. Smith?

Thanks,
John

You can dremel the front of the chassis if you feel it is needed.

Dremel where the arms make outer contact with the chassis? I don't know if I am willing to hack up my ride(it's too pretty!), I was just wondering what you or other Delta owners were using, .71 shafts, buggy springs , oil, pistons etc,.

Thanks,
John

Chad,

I think we are looking for additional suspension travel to gain as much droop as possible.

What settings of the suspension/linkages will yield the greatest amount of travel? Can't find it my manual....;)

I have moved my front arms to the upper roll center, and changed to Tamiya shocks.
With the upper roll center, I can get WAY more droop/travel, but what am I really doing?

I have found the Tamiya shocks give the greatest amount of travel of any shock I own.
We have Associated TC's, Tamiya and Associated VCS2 converted TC's.

I would like to know the answer to this also, i run a .51 shaft in the rear, but havent tried anything in the front.

I put the Losi JRXS (improved Tamiya copy) shocks on my car to get more uptravel, as the body is shorter. My car is not totally maxed out on droop, but i think i could lengthen the shock ends to get the arms to hit the chassis without causing uptravel problems. Lengthening the shaft length or letting out the shock ends should increase droop. I'm just not sure because of the bellcranks for the shocks...does it matter how they are oriented at ride hight?:confused:
