I have a couple of questions,  how do you measure droop and how much do you usually run? I run on a loose rough outdoor track and am lacking a bit of steering and rotation. What do you think about running red springs in the rear? Do you think you can post a setup or recommend a setup? I also hear that I need to run more rear brake, what do you think? I'll try to post a setup of what I am running. Thanks!

 This is my standard setup and almost never changes. If you need a little bit quicker steering reaction and or better handling on bigger jumps i recommend putting the front shocks to the middle hole on the front arm. I check my droop by using calipers and going from the middle of the pin on the arm to the middle of the screw on the shock standoff. i usually run my brakes about 50/50 but on an abrasive surface that i need the car to rotate more i will put on more rear brake. I will post a video sometime soon on how i set my brakes.

oh and make sure that all your endpoints are set correctly but set them with tires on and fuel in it as if you were going to go races while its on the ground that way it gets the resistance that the actual car would be putting on it

I was thinking about getting some rear alum hubs, are those necessary?

yes those are a very good investment for the strr evo cause it has bigger tires than the buggy and it is heavier than the buggy so i would recommend those, I've never had an issue with mine

I went and tried a few things to the track pretty happy so far with the adjustments. The only thing is that I cant get a ride height of 37mm up front. Anyone have any ideas how to get the height up front? I have the medium shocks and medium blue springs.

I was able to get the 37mm up front with the 40 AE oil up front. I adjusted it by moving the pre-load, but it is on the last few threads. Is that the way it is?

[rcracer328]

i could get 39mm or 40mm out of mine probably but as long as you can get the 37mm thats what matters
