Droop setup anyone?

[BagoXCAlum]

Hey guys,
Just curious who all is running a droop suspension setup on their Scorpions. How do you like it? If you have any videos of it in action, post em up.

Thanks,
Matt

i don't have any videos but i love my droop before i hated it then i tried it again and it works beautifully "thumbsup" i have my links level and was thinking about purchasing a set of bent links

I tried the sprung setup, but have switched over to droop, and will probably not go back the other way. I run real thick oil in my shocks so they are more predictable. I took some fuel tubing and put on the shock shaft outside of the shock to set the desired ride height. I don't run any internal springs in mine since the fluid is so thick. I bent my own links on one AX 10, and have the straight links on my other AX 10 droop setup,and prefer the bent links. seem to get caught up less on the rocks.

ive got a droop setup on mine and love it.... though i am a newbie and have no experiance with a sprung setup to compair it to

i'm running it on a custom tuber with center ground clearence at axle centerline. i love it, center of gravity is realy low making it very stable not to mention it looks more like a real moon buggy."thumbsup"

Tried it. Didn't like it. A sprung rig is far more predictable.

I run droop in front sprung in rear. I dont run a stock chassis but I love the way it works"thumbsup"

I don't run a stock chassis either, but I ran the stock setup for a few runs, and didnt like it, IMHO it sat a 'little' high for me, and now with my full droop setup, I have a 2" belly clearence, and it works awesome.

My rig just seem's to grip thing's better running droop. No more sprung for me.

My truck is the on that scored a -3 on this days comp.
I would have never made that bonus attempt if I had a sprung set-up.
In fact no sprung set-up made that bonus gate.

Enjoy.

I'm using HPI MT2 rear threaded shocks all around. I run droop up front with 3000wt diff oil & semi droop ? in the rearwith 60wt shock oil, by semi droop I mean I have shorter springs on the rear shocks so I still get about 10mm of droop in the rear.

I love this set up but I think the 3000wt in the front is a bit too much, I'm going to try some 1500wt.
