Suspension spring rates explained - Learn about your RC crawler shocks

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Spring rates aren't always obvious so here's a short and hopefully easy to follow video on getting started tuning your truck. We'll go over some neutral and "hill climb" settings as well as talk about the alpha angle correction factor for lay-down shocks.

    Oh good lord, at last, you have no idea how thankful I am to have found a channel that explains things clearly but in great detail, uses a tripod, doesn't indulge in anit-social behaviour and doesn't deliberately smash the living daylights out of vehicles that most people would have to work half a year to be able to afford. Great videos, great content, great presentation, keep up the tremendous work, will now binge watch everything, many thanks and bravo!!!

    Oh wow thanks. And here’s me thinking the talking head no multiple angle stuff might get boring :) I do have a habit of smashing trucks up, but generally because I get carried away and always keep it off camera as I know it’s not something really want to see

    I know this is crazy but I use the lightest springs you can get to set the ride height. Then I use 2,000 weight shock out to slow the shock down and keep it from unloading. Works like internal springs. Different approach with the same results.

    Oh wow that’s definitely a different approach. Damping video is out next week and covers conventional damping. I might have to take a look at your idea of super light springs and thick oil.

    I've always run my shocks vertically. For no good reason, really. Just was familiar with how my truck handles in that configuration. This video has me thinking about trying them layed down.

    It’s all about experimentation. I’ve found the fronts laid down more than the rear does help with rates

    I found this video very useful, I’ve been trying to dial in these YR desert lizards (100mm) on my gen 8 axe. It’s a got a little bit of weight up front not much but I was trying to get it to where it has maximum articulation but was setting all the way down maxed out full droop cause it left me with literally no spring left. It was like riding without shocks. The only travel was if the wheel fell down. So I went up in the spring weight and now it’s sitting about where you said 50/50 I got some spring left for bumps and plants of flex so I think it’s gonna work here for now.

    Awesome, glad I could help. 100mm is a very long shock so I’d probably say 60% droop would be good to lower the cog and still have some spring?
