It is common for the shock to be too long with the standard ballcups on most 12th scale cars. You can use this as a tuning aid as well which controls up travel for on power steering. The less the shock extends and unloads to the rear end, the more onpower steering you will have.
I needed my car to rotate more in Cleveland and we reduced the shock length as one thing to make it rotate harder middle out.
