Now to be honest I changed my rockers at the same time as changing my springs and shock oil so while I do have less body roll than the stock setup it could be more from the springs and oil than the rockers. I was led to believe PRO3 rockers were ideal for on-road and track type of stuff, having said that I understand you need to use shorter pushrods with them which is something I wondered if you and bashem had done when trying them out.
Ok so my set-up (sorry for the thread hi-jack BTW, but hey you get that sometimes) I have silver springs up front with 50wt oil and blue springs in the rear with 60wt oil, almost no pre-load and stock pistons, I was looking into getting the variable damping kit a while back but never did. So what is a good all round setup in your opinion? Also, what you're telling me is the only way to tune droop on the E-Revo is to either use different rockers or put some fuel tubing on the shock shaft?
I liked the stock set up with 35wt. Stock Nitro was 30wt. I found the stock pistons were just fine with only 5wt more. My set up was nitro though. Your stock set up has 40wt stock I believe. I also liked 12 degree castor (bump steer), -2.0 camber (rear) 3 degree tow in, -1.5 camber (front) 1 degree tow out. Tow out up front will allow for more steering.
You can tune droop using spacers on the shock shaft too, I found fuel tube was suffice. When I race anything I always do a complete tear down and change all the fluids, learned that from an anal racer but I'll tell you what, I'm glad I did. I figure if your going to do it, do it all right
Everyone will be different in the way they set up their rig for racing. It's pretty much trial and error till you find what works best for your driving and on your track with it's conditions. However, I would tune mine accordingly to what track I was running on. Lets not even get into how many sets of Truggy tires I had for different track conditions
