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.

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

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 voilĂ ! I had droop control. Thanks for sharing this info with us!

Droop settings are extremely important in 1/8 off-road racing setups.

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

“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. 👍💯

Thanks for teaching me something new ryan

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.

Hello..can you tell me where's the droop screw on a Losi 22 drag? Thanks
-
If droop screws weren't screwed In evenly on both sides, could that cause it to pull to one side on hard acceleration?
-
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
-
Do you set the droop screws with the car in running conditions fully loaded with batteries and body on?
-
Did you say you don’t use rear droop?
-
