XRAY - Model racing cars

i have setup my xray t3 to the book and have now started to play with set ups. i have used for example some of the carpet setups on the website for running on carpet. the problem im having is when i set the droop to the say 6 on the front and 5 on the rear when i come to set my ride height the car is at around 7-8 with the shock collors all the way up so when i want set the ride height to say 5-5.5 i cant achive this.

any thoughts on this.

if it help i am running on an indoor carpet track which is now going to be less technical and more flowing and on rubbers if anyone has a good setup for this i would be much appreciated

The best way to start is the basic set up. Now i can't understand what springs do you use? This is not normal with 6f & 5r droop not to get 5 or 5.5 mm height...Something is wrong at your settings:-) Tell me everything for your car and get some pictures to help you.

hi thanks for your reply

i am using the huddy set upgages and using white springs on the front and blue on the rear from the xray range.

i will get some pic when i get home.

Are you sure you are using the measurements correctly?

When they say 6 front, 5 rear, they are using a droop gauge, not 'over ride height'.

Like this (ignore the rear upright, it wasn't attached)

pass i will get the pics later

thanks for the replies

i have now replaced the original spring and this has sorted the problem i now have the following.

front 6
rear 5

and ride height

rear 5.5
front 5
