Yea it's on the inside of the A-arms. Without the screw you get full droop which is HUGE on this truck. Not sure about the Losi, but my SC10 set's droop by putting spacers under the shock piston so the shocks can only extend so far.

Ok shock limiters, yea that's how u do the Losi.

Thanks man, so to make sure the droop is equal on both sides why don't they just use nylon O rings as shock limiters like u do in associated and losi trucks? Same amount under the piston on each shaft and your done?

You don't want your shocks being the piece that receives all the force that can be created and its so easy to turn a screw to adjust so what more could you want

Yea if all your worried about is making them even you just need a stick and a marker to measure the sock length on one side and compare to the other. However a decent set of digital calipers is a good tool to have in you back. I got mine at an autoparts store for $30 but have seen them online for half that.

They are always coming off complaining how hot their motors get and how their puffing batteries and such. The track is a small indoor clay/dirt mix with med. traction. So I was thinking of running a takin RX8 gen2 with a 3000 kv pro 4 hd on 3 cell and wanted to know if this would be the way to go to keep thing running cool and still have the power to try and beat these guys:sneaky: My local track does not regulate cell count. Any advise would be great and hope to one day be able to give constructive tuning input for this tread.

I would use a castle 2400Kv 3s setup. I loved that combo and only switched to a 4000Kv 2s combo due to track rules. The 2400Kv felt so smooth for being unsensored and it was just as fast as everyone's 2s setups. More torque, less heat, less amp draw, and longer runtimes.

I wish they woulda went with a droop screw like the one on a RC8B.2. Its a button head screw with a hex in both ends, and the screw gois in frm the bottom. It doesnt wear the chassis at all. Maybe this is just an idea for future products fro Tekno...

I never got why we measure droop eyelet to eyelet. What happens when you change shock locations. Yes droop will stay the same because of the stopper screws, but if you need to adjust it it will be different that the initial setting.


If you are trying to copy a setup exactly, you'd have to set the droop with the same method that the other person used.

I like the eyelet method just because it's an easy reference point that only requires an inexpensive tool and no disassembly.

How often are you changing your shock locations? For the most part I only change tires, droop, and occasionally sway bars.

right on... I've been pretty happy with this $15 caliper here, the battery lasts about a year in my pit box in the Texas heat:

I bought a set of Associated droop screws for under $10 at the LHS. I put them on my EB48, and the rear of the SCT410 as the rear droop setting allows for enough room for the head of the screw.

So why dont you do what I did and buy them and put them in? You do have to bevel the stop on the chassis to get full droop though because the chassis is not like the lite-weight one (eb-48). It is intended to use the screw like that.

+1 That's a good idea. I'm going to fire up the Dremel tonight after work and take care of that.

Is everyone still running 4 o-rings on the bottom of their shocks?
