Ride Height and Droop

Jlong · **Posted:** Mon Aug 27, 2007 05:58:57

this is a question I have too-where are we supposed to measure from-particularly in the front-do we measure from the flat part of the chassis like just behind the arms, or the front where it is bent upwards a little?

I just take a ruler and rasie the chassis to the point of the wheels almost leaving the ground.

Ruff tracks I tend to use full drop and vise versa on smooth.

I use a caliber to measure droop and ride height

You would generally measure the flat spot (lowest part in the front). In most all the setup sheets I have seen for this truggy, there does not seem to be specific measurements for droop and or ride height??[quote]

I dont have any experience with the truggy-but the buggy set up sheets I've seen usually show ride height, as well as droop. Thanks for the answer.
