A car with more droop tends to jump or land better . It will Also handle bumps better and because of the weight transfer fore and aft it should be better on low traction tracks.

A car with less droop responds more quickly , is more stable , and is better suited to higher grip and smoother surfaces.

My track starts a dusty mess and everyone is running lots of droop. When the mains come around and the brown line of grippiness has formed , people are taking droop out .

It is a significant part of the tuning equation.
Thanks, sounds like I'm going to have to experiment a little more with this aspect of the tuning. Still amazes me how 1 or 2 mm of adjustment can make such a difference in these little buggies
