Surface is grass in the UK of that matters.
Thanks.

Guess I would also need to raise the diff to get correct driveshaf angle. Looks like 20mm might be at the top of the carpet setup and bottom of the dirt set up.


You need to look at what is affecting your ride height.

At Norfolk Buggy Club in the UK we have both a grass track and a dirt track.

I find that ride height is affected by the tire profile; as the dirt tires like JConcepts flip outs have a higher profile than the Schumacher mini spikes.

On the dirt track I'll run around 22mm ride height and on grass around 19/20mm, the difference in ride height though is down to the tire profile and not how much I have wound the shock collar down.

For reference I use the LRC blocks on grass and dirt.


I can understand using the +3mm hubs, raising the diff and doing the spindle adjustment if running the HRC blocks, as they effectively lower the ride height by raising where everything pivots from on the chassis.

Not sure if that helps, or confuses, but that is my understanding, which may or may not be correct.
