droop question

[norcrawler]

when im at certain obstacles it seems like theres more tipping going on, like the rear raises up as i go up an incline almost like a dig.it seems like if there were normal shocks on it that it would want to do this.and flexes a little diffrent,can someone confirm this?
and also would shock placement effect this?
because they are alot more inward compared to a standard setup

Try a thicker shock oil or internal spring.

[jamesdicken]

are you running an internal spring and it sucks the wheel back up?

thick as oil will slow this down.

p.s. super thick oil 100wt and above

[norcrawler]

ya im using mini t springs. and yes its sucking the rear up smetimes.

so some like 120 wt?lol

[helhedded]

I've gone to tiny internal springs UNDER the piston, and adding weight to the rear. This helps to keep the tires planted when on a sideways crawl. 7oz all the way around. I let the servo and battery pack take care of the front. 100wt oil as well.

[norcrawler]

ya its on a super if that makes a difference and the front has plenty of wieght on it.lol

[jamesdicken]

you need to try some 1000 wt oil to slow things down on a super. i have 100wt in mine and it doesn't do much.

I run 3000 wt (mugen silicone diff oil) in my 2.2 and 5000 in my super. Works great.
