Not exactly clear about the background. But on my nitro xray cars, I do measure droop with 30mm blocks on a setup board. I measure it at the hub level comparing it to team setup sheets with a calliper or a ride height gauge. The xrays give a number which is equal to how high the hub hangs when the chassis is on 30 mm blocks. The tekno sct410 truck sheets give me droop settings via shock lengths.
The right thing to do is take the droop measurement after exactly setting the tekno up via given shock lengths, then changing the shock positions and measuring droop again via blocks. It should be different. I like the xray approach of course.

I asked a guy at our track about this and he said onroad guys do similar changes. But didn't really get into it. It obviously changes pivot points. If you think about it, it raises the roll center slightly. I felt that steering was smoother with no loss of steering, even though it added 6 or .75mm to track width. I uses Yoshi wheels.

I cut the outer plate cause my spring was fitting way to tight around that raised area. It feels and adjusts way nicer now, and it's lighter.

Yes, measuring shock length doesn't tell you droop at all. If you are hearing that term used, im sorry, but it's incorrect. It tells you one thing, and that is "shock length". If you all follow the same settings on your sheets, then you will get a consistent setup, but you are using the wrong term. I will have time to explain/type it out later, can't right now. Or PM me and I can give you my phone #, and id be happy to talk to you on lunch break today or something.

Shock length will tell you droop as long as you're using the same shock mounting location. Most 1/8 buggies use shock length to measure droop, I think Xray is the only one to actually do it in a way that shock mounting location doesn't matter, same thing as on road cars.

Prob just opt for the 4 hole option fr/r
Also may consider the WC slipper setup

If you are running at BFG, try Barcodes (clay) or Panther Bobcats on the front with AKA red inserts. The barcodes (wider tire patch) will have more grip than the Bobcats. Also you might want to try Panther Rattlers (clay) on the rear. Another rear tire is Brocodes (clay). You might want to run 35/30 on shock oil.

JC Vs Kuosho wheels
Hey guys...went testing yesterday for Greek Nationals on a new astro truck near Athens
I went with Schumacher Mini Spykes in the rear and stugger front and rear motor setup since the track is not high traction. At some point I tried some JC wheels which have deeper hex...I quess that means the rear end was narrower right?
Car felt better...is this down to narrow rear end? What's the theory here?
