Finally a video without screaming loud music at the beginning good on you mate thank you very much for your information well done

Yes, I use limit straps on my rc rock crawlers so that they can climb steeper angles without flipping over backward. They also help put down traction on the front tires while climbing. Same on the rear for descending. We put them in a way that doesn't affect articulation. Usually in the center of the axle and chassis.

Great and simple explanation of suspension droop.
I noticed on my very first Traxxas 4-Tec 2.0 steering A arms, that there were set screw holes provided near the hinges, with a small platform directly beneath for the set screw to mount against.
I disassembled the steering and threaded the holes to accommodate the set screws, and voilà! I had droop control.
Thanks for sharing this info with us!

Thanks for the comment Casey!

“Internal Suspension Limiters” don’t do anything to prevent damage to the internals of your shocks. The piston is still slamming down onto a new position within the dampener itself. Now “Droop Screws” and “ Suspension Limit Straps” actually do help with droop and protect you internals within the dampeners preventing them from damage. 👍💯

Yep, you got it!

Thanks for teaching me something new ryan

Glad you enjoyed!

Yes works good on little 1/18 scale truck ASSC when I changed motors from 5600kv to 9000kv glued the diff’s making them spools crazy fast maybe 30 mph. I was hooked on RC cars trucks looking at Armma 1/7 now

[@ubreakitirepairit3569]

What about the idea that droop screws help with not breaking off a shocks rod end when the a-arm over extends during a cartwheel or bad crash? Although they adjust ride height, which I’ve actually seen myself from adjusting my own droop screws, I’ve always heard that they prevent the shocks from over extending, simply by setting the droop screws to where you have to slightly compress the shock before installing it to the shock stand off.

Droop screws do prevent over extension.

[@andrataylor6070]

Hello..can you tell me where's the droop screw on a Losi 22 drag? Thanks

[@ceff01]

Hi I build a new buggy and u set droop and after few jumps the shocks was spongy and slow rebound. Do you know why please, is it I need harder shocks

[@FullPayGaming]

If droop screws weren't screwed In evenly on both sides, could that cause it to pull to one side on hard acceleration?

[@miguelmingau7405]

Do you set the droop screws with the car in running conditions fully loaded with batteries and body on?

[@RCexplained]

I set the droop screws with the body supported and the wheels not touching the ground to see the full extension of the struts. Once set, I load the car with all components to set the spring loading.

[@Rcghostnrk]

Did you say you don’t use rear droop?

[@steviefpv]

Droop ? wtf lol I’m the uk we call it sag

[@RCexplained]

Interesting. Never heard of sag screws before. I looked up sag screws and not one accurate result shows up? If someone mentioned sag in Canada, it would often refer to a problem where the car is overloaded or the suspension is under performing causing the suspension to sag.
