Compression and rebound can only be adjusted in r/c shocks by changing
shock fluid. The rebound rate will always be the same as the compression
rate. In automotive type shocks there is a compression stroke check valve
that increases the compression stoke rate going up and relieves the rebound
stoke going down. Therefore increasing traction by keeping the wheels on the
ground. Maybe one day R/C cars will get this type of shock.
