Anyone Running droop in front?

[Donkeykicker]

Been playing around with running my front shocks in droop. Anyone else doing this? And have pics or tips. Thx.

yes sir, I run droop in the front on all my shafty rigs. I have the aluminum losi shocks and this is how I have them set up.

inside I have 2mm internal limiting and a spring from a ball point pen under the piston to suck the shock down. on the outside I just use a small rubber tube on the rod to set how far down the shock will sit.

Like this.

You can see the spacer to adjust the ride hight along with shock mounting location.





I make sure that the front lowers don't lay parallel with the ground when in droop because that will tend to hang you up when you're looking for that break over. just a slight incline. you might have to take a few pens apart to get a spring with the correct tension for the weight of your rig. I send to run a very stiff truck in the 1.9 class so I use a heaver spring and 30w oil.

Thanks for the pics. I set mine up today using duratrax shocks up front. I'll have to adjust my lowers like yours. I'll try to post some pics.
