Going to try out my EXL in VTA this weekend. With Awesom-o behind the wheel, I am expecting good things.

Any way you could be a little more exact? ;-)

Stefano doesn't informed "how more exact" number he wants.
At any case I don't have more than Mitutoyo 0,01mm calipers in hands right now.

Hey guys, I picked up a EXL and cant wait to get it on the track!! Just a question, on the setup im putting on the car, the downstop says 6.2mm and 5mm, with a ride height of 5.5 all the way around. What is this measurement measured from? I cant for the life of me seem to figure it out.

PLEASE NOTE -- for this method to work your chassis must sit flat on your flatboard. you'll need to trim the excess plastic from the P06.

I think this is the info you are looking for.

Did that exact method, but when i measure it out after, it says there is 4mm up travel over the ride height in the rear and over 6mm in the front. That doesnt seem right to me at all.

I measure droop with the car flat on a setup board. I run the guage along the inside of the 2 button head screws at the end of the arms. I usually set the front to 4.5mm and rear to 4.8mm. I don't know how that translates to orh. Since I started using this method the car has been a beast on the track. So..... I think I will stick with it.... for now. Maybe this weekend I will check to see what the orh measurement is with this method.

Is the entire setup applied? These droop measurements don't work if you don't have the at21s
