To Droop or Not to Droop? That is the question. 

I agree

Great comment. Great info. Thanks for that.

@@BuyitBreakitFixit I made a couple of mistakes on my comment , edited it.

Glad you got some useful info from the video. Sounds like a fun rc to mess with. Crawler/basher, that is cool. Thanks for watching.

No idea my friend. Colin works at a hobby shop and I assume he knows what he is talking about. He is not an off roader and could have it wrong. Sorry about that. Just trying to help.

I work for a shock manufacturer, you are correct "droop" is the suspension extended, as if you lifted the vehicle from the frame and let the wheels hang. Every vehicle on the road has the vehicle's weight sitting on the springs, which compresses them slightly to put them in the center of their travel. If this was not the case, any rebound action of the suspension lifts the tires off the road. RC vehicles are so light this isnt as much of a problem as it would be for your real car or truck. Droop as these guys describe, really means your suspension is more compressed at static, thus less chance of a tire coming off the road and better ability to "droop" into a low spot on rocks or a trail. Hope this helps.

Appreciate you clearing that up. As I always say, I am not a professional. Haha thanks for the comment.

Lol, your a funny guy and that is too much info. Hahaha

😳😣😔

I totally agree James. It is all about paying it forward however you can. I don't worry about the haters, just had to add that in there for them. Haha

Sweet bro. Thanks for the info and watching.

How is you full droop set up w/ the lizards? I got 100mm yesterday they came already set with droop I think.

So you just ran the longest spring in the bottom and no spring on top correct?

Thanks bro. We have fun doing these videos. Experimenting is just something ya gotta do. Thanks for watching bro.

Awesome comment. Thanks for the info on your personal experience, that is what it is all about.

Thanks this is a very vast subject I ve worked on for the past 5 months searching trying failing and do it all over but it was great fun. It goes deeper when one involves upper linkages geometry changes and rear axle rotation not to mention over drive and under drive . Long discussions 😉

Hahaha, yes the subject is very deep and complex for sure.

Thanks. Appreciate the comment. Sounds like yours is tuned in now. Takes a little tweaking to get it right but once you do, its money in the bank. Lol

No it's you.

Works fine for me

Sorry about that. Not sure why it is like that. The audio was fine when it was uploaded. My apologies.

Thanks. Appreciate the comment. Droop for me, well at least on the lifted sport.

Thanks for the input. Appreciate the comment. Colin was speaking from his experience.

Thanks. Colin really knows his stuff.

No rush man.

Thanks brother. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks bro. Your funny.

Thanks for watching

Yeah, I hear ya, not enough courses

Hey Shelby. Cool, yeah, I do the same.

Thanks. We appreciate the comment. 👍

Thanks Wayne. Appreciate that

Thanks dude

Thanks, appreciate the great comment.

Chantilly, virginia.

@@BuyitBreakitFixit I knew it. I think I ran into you all at the hobby shop. I used to live in fairfax. Great channel! Keep up the good work!

Thanks brother. Always appreciate your comment.

@@BuyitBreakitFixit 👍🤙

Interesting idea you have. I think that would work nicely. Go for it! Thanks for watching the video.

Always good to help others, yepper. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Really appreciate the positive vibe.

Thanks. Colin only speaks about what he knows, usually. Haha glad to hear you do comparably the same, and in 1 to 1. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comment. It really comes down to how you use your rig and how you like it to perform. The stock TRX shocks are a great start, they perform well and are great quality. I would recommend buying a couple different shocks weight oils and just do some experimenting and see what you like. the lighter your rig is the lighter shock fluid you want, well that is my preference. Don't be afraid to come up with your own style on this, as everyone seems to have a different opinion because we all have our own unique driving style.

Thanks Fern.

Glad the video helped you out. That is always the best comment to hear. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks. Funny story, Colin, the guh in the video actually helped to come up with the name. Kinda crazy how outta all the videos to comment on, you pick the video with him in it. Haha kinda neat. Thanks for the comment.

Appreciate the comment

Great opinion. Glad you shared it. I don't agree with your explanation but that for watching. Need more explanation if you plan on convincing me. Make sure you do your research cause we did. Might want to look it up again. Thanks for watching.

@@BuyitBreakitFixit Sorry man. I guess I'm thinking of droop in the way of the rear end on the UDR hanging in the air

@@MT-THNDR207 right on bro. No worries. Sorry didn't mean to come off defensive there.

@@BuyitBreakitFixit it's ok everybody can get a little passive aggressive sometimes

U like all this talk about shafts LOL

@@STEVOD313 : Not really. LOL I'm more about how much input the shafts can do.

Thanks brother

Glad it helped someone out. Thanks for the comment.👍👊

That is your opinion. Some like it some don't. I don't run droop on my rigs. Video is just trying to help those that are curious about it.

@volts Nah you are uninformed

Ohh yeah, they are like fruit loops and keep rolling round and round? Ohh wait that isn't it. Haha yeah Joe, Colin wanted to do this video to share his fruit loop, oops, I mean opinion. 😅 thanks for the comment.

Any thought on a good shock for a gen 7 sport its gonna be a hard core rock crawler ,lots of big rocks in southern Wv.

@@joejago5231 you might not want to hear this but the stock shocks from a traxxas trx4 are very good shock. a lot of people use them. if you are not liking the trx4 shocks, maybe some Proline comp shocks would handle those WVa rocks. I am in Va not too far from ya. Let me know what you decide to go with, kinda interested in what you decide.

really where in virginia also do you guys sell on amazon

And good servos i need 2 i put 4 wheel steer on it

Thanks brother, I do like the droop setup. Thanks for watching.
