Easiest way to measure it is droop over ride height. Basically just measure the ride height at the front of the pod and then lift up on the upper shock pivot until you have maxed out the shock's extension, and then measure ride height again. The difference in measurements is your pod droop.

Sure, bring a professional's input into the argument.....

Bruce is actually who taught me all of that stuff.....

You sir are a professional.

There's a reason I keep all those links handy on the 12th Info Thread. . .

Thank you sir, I think I'm more of an assistant manager type of guy

You're making it too easy for everyone.

So. Thought posting this idea/link in here might help it not get buried as it is something we all want at some point or another with foams/traction compound.

That’s a very interesting request; never thought about that one before. The main thing I want out of radio manufactures is a AMB transponder built into ALL receivers.
But I also would like a cheap portable AMB timing set up so I can use it at home with friends.

Why don't you just work on your car setup so that it doesn't fade and/or you don't need expo to drive it?

I find expo almost (almost, but not quite) useless. Dual rate is a much better adjustment and usually adjustable via a thumb wheel or button.

I personally Run the Futaba 3pm and the Dual rate switch is located just on my thumb of my trigger hand and I find I can only adjust it down the straight and even then my attention diverts and I stop steering properly and can never get a fast lap while changing settings


But I can change them so that's ok too.


I would like to see something easier to switch or automatic as no matter what you do on low traction surfaces you will need more steering over the course of a race.

Argh! Thats what I meant! *hits head on desk*

All cars fade. Even yours. Maybe not as much as others. But over the time the steering characteristics change.

I use expo to set the end points so I don't over stress the servo or have it stress the suspension trying by trying to steer past the physical limits of the suspension. After that I use just dual rate for tuning.
