Hay guys, whats up?

I just finished building my Evo and i went to race it this evening and my track was closed because they are redoing the track layout, so now im sad because I didn't get to drive my buggy.

Question thought, How does the car feel without having droop screws (unless I missed something in the manual, my chassis has nowhere to adjust droop)?

Also, what ride height are you guys running? I believe I ran 29/30 on the old car but its not possible to get this car at that height where my shocks are currently mounted.

Thanks

From what I gather, droop screws were skipped in the initial design. I wish they kept them, but... now it's old school time and have to open the shocks and shim. The only positive with shims, it's consistent, not convenient.
I also believe the arms have altered height holes compared to previous generation parts so for all those thinking about spares, or using old parts on the new buggy think again... plus the plastic is different. I too have a box of previous gen s104 parts that don't break..

As for ride height setup, I unfortunately can't be any help to offer advice other than start with level arms first and tu e from there..

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, thats weird they skipped the droop screws but maybe with the new geometry they weren't needed, idk. I did drive the car up and down my street and it turned and felt awesome.

Anybody else on the rideheight?
