Paul what's up ? Have a shock question for u pertaining to all Rc tc cars . Sanario is car is set up ready to race all setting r spot on
Let's say ur ride height is 5mm f/r for easy figuring
U put ur tc chassis on a 5mm block and remove springs only . Now u measure ur shock shaft (let's say 8mm of shock shaft showing) OK, I want to rebuild shocks ..
Dump oil ,refill ,remove air, not to set rebound and secure cap.
If one was to use vented caps with no foam ,set shock rebound by measuring 8mm of shaft showing with ride height gauge then apply Blatter and remove any access oil/air THEN install cap and tighten . Would u say the shocks Blatter would be relaxed at 8mm ? If so would it still allow for 100% travel ? If so wouldn't this make for a shock setup that always consistent and needs less maintenance since a tc car sits 90% of its race day on the wheels ? If all this is true why wouldn't this be the preferred shock building technique? Is their any reason to build it differently (performance wise) tks Paul .
As for the vta question above . Make sure the rear tires r older or at least not any newer than the front clean them between every session u have on the track . And a narrower rear with long low(Inside) links seems to give the most mechanical rear grip . Hope it helps u untill paul can give better answer xray specific
