Here's the latest episode in the "Not an Expert" series!
What I want to do is share my thoughts and observations as well as the results of my research or experience. If this helps a few people out then it's well worthwhile.
Today we're looking at the two extremes of suspension setups for crawlers and what the potential advantages and disadvantages are. We'll take a look at different spring positions and options and the effect that they can have on how your crawler might run and react to the trail.
I have to admit, I'm new to the droop idea as I've never tried it before but thought it was about time I gave it a go. I'll be following this up with some tests and some running video from somewhere a bit special!

A crawler performs so much more differently than a normal RC basher or road racer. Nice video! Thank you for clarification on this subject.

But what if my crawler is heavy and compresses / droops the shocks under it's own weight while sitting on a flat surface?
@rcpie
@rcpie 10 месяцев назад
That'll be fine for trails. In fact, it's probably the nicest way to have your truck set up for trails. It means suspension travel both up and down (assuming they're not fully compressed) so the body/chassis can just ride along a smooth line. If they're completely compressed, you'll want to add some preload to the springs (or switch to harder springs) so it sits up a little. If you try proper rock crawling though, you're going to have a problem. When it gets steep, the suspension on the uphill side will unload and let the body fall away from the axle. This will most likely lead to rolling.

what about running with NO springs?
@rcpie
@rcpie 4 месяца назад
People do it but it's only really an option for very slow crawling. I've tried it and really didn't like it.
@hellofromsoutheastalaskarc7517
Hello from southeast alaska what shocks are the best for mn99s?
@rcpie
@rcpie Год назад
It's a tricky one. I've not really found anything decent at the right size. There must be something out there but I'm yet to hear about them! I combined two sets to get a fitting and a spring that I was happy with but there's no damping. I'll hopefully look at them again in the future. Perhaps a tiny elastomer would work.
