Dampener adjustments
Please help me understand the two adjustments on the dampener. What do they do? For example if I move the whole body out to 4mm vs 0. I do not know what to call the other adjustment. Srs? How does that effect shock travel?

Moving the body outward increases the dampening similar to thicker oil in traditional shocks. Moving the spring ride height block outward increases the spring rate similar to heavier springs in a traditional shocks. This is simplified of course but a quick way to wrap your head around the AWX suspension. Refer to the 800x manual page 23, there's a little more detail and rate charts.

Does anyone have the distance from the center of the servo, to the ball on the servo horn? Trying to see if the horn I want to use is too short or not. As well, is anyone making low friction belts for the MMCX? I thought about doing the oldschool method and soaking them in WD40.

• Moves whole damper / spring assembly
• Changes both damper and spring rates
• Adjusted by loosening screw through chassis
• Moving the damper/spring assembly closer to the wheel (larger measurement) increases the stiffness of the shock and spring simultaneously.
• A measurement of 4mm is stiffer than a measurement of 1mm.
• This change is similar to shock position on other cars.
B SETTING:
• Moves the spring contact point only (P09x shock spring holder).
• Changes spring rate only
• Adjusted by loosening the SRS screw.
• Moving the shock spring holder closer to the wheel (smaller measurement) increases the stiffness of the spring only.
• A setting of 1mm is stiffer than a setting of 4mm.
• This change is similar to spring rate on other cars.
Refer to the manual for how to measure each setting. It's page 23 of the A800X Evo manual.
Here is a good spring & damper setting chart. Be sure to use the correct one for your springs and RHS position.

Compare to normal suspension shock with coil-spring.
To make the suspension stiffer.
Move the shock position more upright (shock and coil spring will be moved together).
On Awesomatix. You can do it by move the damper position (A Setting) closer to the wheel or wider gap.
If you move the damper position closer to the chassis or less gap, it just like you make the shock position more inclined which makes the suspension softer.
When you want harder or softer springs normally you replace them.
On Awesomatix. You can change the spring rate to be harder by simply move the spring rate screw (SRS) position (B setting) closer to the wheel or less gap to the damper. And do the opposite for softer spring rate. And these adjustments wouldn't effect the shock travel.
Sorry for my english but I hope that may help.

I'm currently running the MMCX/aluminum chassis with Brandon Clements setup from IIC equipped with a 13.5T boosted setup. The track I am racing at is Yatabe Arena and were using Sorex 28's (Glued to 59 cm) on Black CRC carpet. At first the setup worked really well, but soon after the car was doing some strange things coming out of a 180 turn. After the apex and under hard acceleration the front right wheel would lift off the ground and the car would sometimes wobble. The the droop, ride height, and all other settings are spot on and the car performs really well on 98% of the track, but it's this one section that's causing issues
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone set their car up for VTA? I did the and the Protoform VTA wheels rub on the steering arm. I have added some washers, but this does not seem right.
Anyone care to share their setup.
