The problem is my shocks can't push out to the droop length. The springs are too short or something else is"off". Shocks on or off I have the same droop. When on the blocks at the correct droop setting the springs have a 1/4 inch of play up and down. When on table it sits at 5mm ride height. Is this why there's new towers?

In addition, droop should always be set with the shocks off the car, as in the Olly J article in order to be more accurate. It can be done with the shocks on the car, but it is harder to be accurate.

i am almost certain that they mean 1mm, 1mm, 1.5mm. they are the sizes of the holes. but i might be wrong.

Take one of the car from the rear with shocks attached and raised off the table.
Take another from the rear on the table at ride height. It should be pretty obvious given the description you provided.

I've got a new-to-me TC6. Drives really well. I'm glad I bought it. I also own TC3's and TC5's.
Have any of you put an aftermarket battery holder on? Or, are you just using the battery mounting system that AE designed for it?

Discodom - mine did that as well. I found out that when using the high roll center mounts your droop screw will not reach. The shocks do extend all the way before the droop screws even come into play. Once you lower your roll centers, then you can use the droop screws to adjust droop. Maybe this could be your problem ?

Does anyone have a recommended FDR gear ratio for this car in the USVTA class using the 25.5 turn motor and blinky esc? I am currently running the 17.5 TC blinky class and Im running a 3.7 FDR. Not sure I can get it much taller. I run the 48 pitch gears and with the 72/39 gearing I have in it for the 3.7 FDR in 17.5 blinky I can barley get to the motor screws to tighten the motor down because the pinion is so big. I haven't found a smaller spur than the 72 in 48P. So I'm not sure how to gear it taller.
Id rather not have to switch everything to 64P gears if I dont have to.
I guess my real question is what gear ratio are people running in the USVTA 25.5 blinky class with this car? I'm just trying to figure out what I need to get to so I can figure out a plan on what gears I need.
Thanks for the help.
