I have a question on shock length. When I built my G+, I threaded the shock shafts with about three threads visible on the shaft. Then I adusted the spring collars to get just put tension on the springs. Do you guys normally screw the shock shafts all the way with no threads showing as a starting point? Or do you have them turned out a turn or two from full lock?

I have always threaded them till you can't see the threads

It's best to ditch the crappy droop screws and then just adjust droop with shock length...

Oh ye of too much faith. I only remember some slot car tricks that seem to work on these Monsters. Everyone else seems to know so much more about these tin can motors.

And I just wanted to concentrate on my driving...He, he...
