Amazing video with your pictures and descriptions. You explained so much in a very understandable way and spoke in a perfect cadence. I had an "Ah-ha" moment. Thank you! Cheers.
That'll be fine for trails. In fact, it's probably the nicest way to have your truck set up for trails. It means suspension travel both up and down (assuming they're not fully compressed) so the body/chassis can just ride along a smooth line. If they're completely compressed, you'll want to add some preload to the springs (or switch to harder springs) so it sits up a little. If you try proper rock crawling though, you're going to have a problem. When it gets steep, the suspension on the uphill side will unload and let the body fall away from the axle. This will most likely lead to rolling.
It's a tricky one. I've not really found anything decent at the right size. There must be something out there but I'm yet to hear about them! I combined two sets to get a fitting and a spring that I was happy with but there's no damping. I'll hopefully look at them again in the future. Perhaps a tiny elastomer would work.
This was very helpful to me. Sincere thanks to you and Abraham.
You're very welcome!

You're very welcome. Thanks for the nice words. It's great to hear such positive and specific feedback. I'm really glad it helped you.
A crawler performs so much more differently than a normal RC basher or road racer. Nice video! Thank you for clarification on this subject.
You're very welcome. I hope it was helpful.
Finally, I get what droop is! Thank you
You're very welcome!
Perfect summary, it helped me to understand better. 👍Thanks.
You're very welcome. I'm glad it helped.
That is very much clear explanation sir❤ thank you very much. So glad found your video
Glad to have helped!
Awesome video my friend nice 👍 share good stuff on explaining the droop on rc truck 🛻 great job thumbs up 👍
Thanks a lot. 😃
Great explanation sir! Thank you
You're very welcome!
Great explanation. Thank you
You're welcome. Glad it's helpful.
Nice explanation!
Thanks. Hopefully keeping things simple!
Very good! Higher is not always better! But sometimes it is....🌿😵💫✌😉
Thanks.
Awesome video! thank you
Thanks. You're very welcome!
But what if my crawler is heavy and compresses / droops the shocks under it's own weight while sitting on a flat surface?

Very helpful cherrs mate
You're welcome. Glad it's helpful!
@@rcpie just doing a full droop set up now ready for tomorrow, was interesting as iv had alot of rolling over , thanks again 😊
@@Jeff-nu4lm Excellent!
Brilliant! Thank you. Best video ever. Sub'd
Thanks, Gypsy. I'm glad it was of help.
what about running with NO springs?
People do it but it's only really an option for very slow crawling. I've tried it and really didn't like it.
Hello from southeast alaska what shocks are the best for mn99s?
