i always measure on the lower side of the arm (front of arm) when i run anti- dive (what i normally don’t do often). But from this side of view it is normally better to measure it on the center of the axle but that will give you different values which are not easy to compare with others. But that would be the most precise measurement for the droop!
I've been reading set up sheets where the value for droop is under 'arm' rather than pin, where is 'arm' measured? I assume on the arm but which bit? cheers
Ilja Kiel Hi, droop is the amount of travel your suspension can go upwards. So when your car is ready to race and you lift it up at front or rear there is a defined amount of how much you can lift it until the tires are loosing the contact with the ground. That is called „droop“ and we adjust it with the small setscrew in the lower arms. Ride height is the height your chassis is above the ground when your car stands on its wheels. Droop is the amount of uptravel you allow your suspension to have! So NOT the same :-)
To this day i still don't understand droop. Considering the shock is pushing the arm down, all the droop screw does is determine the ride height. Watched vids and still don't understand it
With the car sitting on its tyres the droop screw should not be in contact with the chassis. When you lift the chassis (e.g. as the car brakes the car goes up at the rear) the chassis will stop rising once the arms hit the droop screws. If you lift the car up in the air the suspension arms "drop down" onto these screws, hence the name, droop screw.

E a frente? Quanto deixou?
Since the arms can be at an angle, do you measure it on the lower side or the high side? ( Front or back of arm)

"Under the Arm" and "Under the Pin" is normally the same as almost all teams are measuring on this spot.
Hi witch drop gauge is that you are using?
Hello! It's the circle droop gauge by MR33. You can find it in our store using the part number MR33-CDG.
Can use ride height gauge to measure also without the 10mm blocks..😂
Hi Is the droop adjustment actually same as downstop adjustment?
Yes Droop and Downstop is the same.
Hi Patrick, i am confused...is droop the same as rideheight then? Can you explain a little more please thanks

Patrick Beck RC ,thanks mate for the help!Coming season racing TA07pro in the Tamiyacup TW class so need all the help i can get 😉
Patrick Beck RC clear and thanks for your video’s💪🏻👍🏻
so the higher the number on the gauge, means more droop?
No, the lower the number the more droop, the higher the number means less droop (less suspension travel)
Measure the axle is more accurate. And can compare car to car.
To this day i still don't understand droop. Considering the shock is pushing the arm down, all the droop screw does is determine the ride height.
Watched vids and still don't understand it
what exactly is the point you don’t understand?
