There should be a section by the cut off selector to let you select the exact voltage of the cut off in increments of +/- .1

Thanks

Droop is simply the travel of your shocks. Lift the car off the ground and measure from the center of each mounting bolts. TaDa! Droop.

No, you use the droop screws on the inner portion of the a-arms. Looking down onto the vehicle, you should see a set screw in the inner corner of each a arm. Turn them in to reduce droop-turn out to increase droop.

i just rebled my front shocks with some fresh 40wt AE oil...with 54 pistons (every setup sheet i've seen runs that combo)

so...what about the rear? i haven't checked what pistons or oil is in it...but i don't have 25wt oil...but i do have ae 30wt...is that TOO much? or should i just wait till before the race tomorrow night and pick up some 25wt?
