Your site is very helpful for those of us new to the chassis. The only changes I made were to lay down the front shocks 1 hole on top and I'm using blue assosiated springs in front and silvers in the rear. Also the yellow sway bar in front. This is with the LWR susp. and MS towers on the 3mm chassis. Car has super turn-in and high speed steering. Feels like my 8th scale, just not going 60.

probably the easiest way is to get a small pin and push from oneside while trying to slowly undo the grub screw from the right side.

Thank You, Thank You!!!!!!!

I haven’t actually tried this particular tip I’m suggesting but I would get one of those 1.5mm allen wrenches that come with Tamiya kits (any Tamiya enthusiast has a ton of them). Then JB weld it into the stripped screw pin and let it dry for 24 hours and then slowly unthread it. The most common cause of stripping this screw is tightening too quickly during the initial threading into the arm. Good luck.

Hello,

I need some help to understand what is Rebound stroke on the 415 setup sheet.
According to the manual rebound stroke=Droop.

I saw Maezumi's setup on rczone.net. He sets rebound stroke at 3 front and 3 rear. Does it mean that he uses 3mm for droop (with a droop gauge)?

Thanks in advance for your help.

If I'm not mistaken, rebound refers to the way the piston comes bck when you push it to the max and release it (that's with no spring of course). However, I have no idea what 3mm refers to (3mm between full push and rebound position or 3mm between full length and rebound position).

Same for me TRF415boy but when you read the manual of the 415 page 21 they explain it in a different way.

So the big question what is 3mm rebound stroke according to the manual?

TRF415boy

Fair enough. Taken this way, it means that the chassis have 3mm uptravel from rest (ride height) to max ride height (when you lift the chassis until the tyres barely touch the ground).

They are 13.33

Yes it is, but while droop can also be expressed by a measure on a droop gauge, rebound refers specifically to what I've mentionned.

No prob, it's what it's there for. BTW I've recently added in the HPI springs to that chart as well.
