I believe you two are talking about two different things. Droop screws are for limiting down-travel. If you don't want your piston entering the cap it is up-travel that should be limited.
I am guessing these blanks are fitted just above the spring perch below the rubber stopper. Right?

gregerl, that is correct on the placement. There is no way I want my pistons to ride above the shock body. I also added steel washers at the top of the shock mounts to stop the wear on the shock towers, and it is holding up very well. These things were grinding down fast before I added the washers. My next project will be to add some type of bumper to keep it from getting stuck on the front end, something that can help it slide. I may make it from stainless steel.

Welcome to the club. I don't think there's anything you HAVE to do but here's my list of recommended upgrades. Did you get the type B stuff with the RTR? Would have had a sticker saying something like high performance parts included.
Aluminum or CF steering rack
Aluminum RF hanger
CF/aluminum shock towers
Add spider gears to the gear diff. The RTR comes with only one cross. TD310003/TD310002/TD709002
Replace the O-Rings with TD330099
Nice to have:
Camber rack for the rear gearbox. Either tresrey or sumo
Replace the servo
Replace the radio

Is anybody running the lowered rear shock tower and the LRC rear hangers?

That's one thing I replaced was the radio. Im using my Spectum DX3c to control the car.
The stock brushless system performs just fine to me. Im usually racing against
buggies that have a 10.5 or higher motor thou. I was only a lap slower than they were.

I would say it's the 8-Racing +8mm carbon chassis http://www.tsrproducts.com/index.php...210-mc8v2.html

That's not an Exotek. Theirs has a separate nose that bolts into a flat chassis. This one has the kick built in.

What chassis are you running, have you tried any of the after market chassis's?

I got a lrc rr 0 kick up 3 toe my rf is tresrey 1.5 kick up 3 toe I adjust at the hubs... My desc210 I figured would benefit from the lower rear tower more but the shocks wont let the chassis touch by about 5mm not sure about the buggy tho I've never needed more down travel I've always used some droop
