The trick is to stop using Botox.

Seriously, there are a TON of pics and setups around here using droop.
Look through the AX10 pics thread, and you will see a ton of builds.

IMO droop sucks, your rig will become unpredictable and it just sucks to drive.

but if you want to take the external springs off find a spring the fits inside the shock body and put it under the pistion

It depends on the application. I don't like my AX-10 drooped, but I really like it on my MRC.

I thought I would hate droop, but on my Bully it is great (front only). I tried springs inside, but prefer it without them. Basically just take the springs off your shocks and you will be running full droop. Tune the action with various oils, pistons, limiting collars, etc, till you get the feel you want. Droop is pretty much a dead horse in crawling, seems none of the top drivers use it anymore, but for my driving style on my current setup, I really like it. Try it and see what you think, you can always go back to sprung if you don't like it.
