RCSHOX 2stage all around...I'm at about 30mm F/R=ride height.
I was trying to get to 28mm, but i'd prefer to keep the setup as is.

Are your shock collars bottomed out at the top of the shock so you can't lower it any more? If that's the case there really isn't a "right" way to go about lowering the ride height.

Garolite pads
Once you pin the front drive belt, I'm not a big fan of mixing pads since the slipper doesn't slip independently F/R anymore.
I would use the same pads across the slipper with the pin modification (no matter if you were using the basket or not). Once you get it adjusted properly, I'd expect the forward bite to be the same no matter which one you choose. IMO only difference between them is going to be how long they last before you have to do maintenance on them.
If users are going to leave the slipper decoupled, I'm certain everyone will find some magic cocktail of slipper pads that work best for them (we have a couple hundred pages of just that in this thread).

Can someone explain to me how to weigh the truck for balance from side to side and front to back without a scale. I have moved the battery over on the motor side due to fitment issues and now it's a little heavier on that side. I just got some losi stick weights today but I am unsure how to weigh it. Anyone have any ideas.

ride height
No, the collars are not all the way to the top....
At the track i'm at, the jumps are violent....So I have the collars
down about 5mm in front & 7mm in rear.....
So, if i go to 3mm front & 5mm rear, I mite be able to achieve a 2mm
lower ride height??
Maybe with the jumps being so Violent, i'm better at 30mm ride height?
thx

EXCEPT you can have the L/R AFU and still have the F/R % correct. I keep trying to tell you guys, the L/R balance isn't that important - its the FR splits and the cross weight, and even there 50/50 isn't right.....

Craig,
So, what r u saying, i should'nt run the Garolite pads inner&outer???
just outer?
just inner??
Both inner&outer makes sense, and that's what Marcus said.?.
As long as nothing is going to break, i can try inner&outer and if it doesn' feel right, switch....Isn't that what u meant by a "cocktail" mixture with the regular slipper?? Hdpad/stock pad/garolite pad mixture between inner& outer of the decoupled slipper??
thx

clicker
On a tight indoor Clay/blue groove track, flat, med/high traction, with a few large jumps...
What does every1 think about clicker locked or not??...regular decoupled slipper
I have been running it locked, i know most people racing are not running it locked......I figured i would run it locked& maybe try unlocked eventually....
I have heard locked clicker, runs the belt down more, then unlocked...
any1 thx
