XRAY - Model racing cars

Right guys i would like to try changing my shock rebound as i have always had 100% rebound but i would like to know what effect it has on the cars handling and how are you ment to be able to set it accurately? Personally i think if you change it as the manual says to then you can't be sure that you have the same rebound for each shock as there are no markings of any kind, The only way i can see to be sure that they are set at the same value is to set them at 100% any help or guidance would be great.

Thanks for taking your time to read this.

ok thanks ill see what there like with 100% for now as i have just rebuilt them but i will maybe try 0% on my spare shox and see what the difference is. do you know what rebound actually does to the way a car handles?

any more advice with which is better more or less rebound? i race on a tight technical capet track

0 is our starting point for carpet[/quote]

thankyou very much for your help

i have come across a problem when setting 0% rebound it seems that the piston comes out the top of the oil creating air bubbles, also i can remove half of the oil from the shock as per the manual and i still get 25% rebound, its the t3 plastic shocks.

thanks for all your help ill give it a try and report back, i have just brought the alu shocks for the t3 anyway so hopefully they will be easier.

Less rebound in low grip, more rebound in high grip thats correct ?

In the beginning of racing the track may have low grip, but on the finał grip is rising what rebound is better in the first part and last part of racing?
