I originally tried this on my WGT.

When I raised the outer end and lowered the tube lube the dampening felt more linear (if that makes sense). I guess you could compair it to changing your shock angle.

It may be more of an effect then what we may think because of how the 2/56 balls are mounted onto the pod top plate. Being on the bottom there's less leverage/movement then if they were mounted on the top. So by straighteneing the tubes (raising the outer end) and lowering the dampening it frees it up and lets the chassis roll more. For me it's easier to drive
