One question from a novice in crawling : i have a Losi Comp crawler with 21.5 brushless, 3s lipo , dig ,... HB rover tire with stock foam , added weight 8oz front, 2oz rear. pink springs, 40wt oil in shocks.
Now I'm working on tire and foam setup and noticed that if i drop the car on the floor i have some bounce , most on front wheels. I changed foam, when using proline memory foam the bouncing is reduced but still present. Shock oil and spring don't have aby effect on it. I noticed that such bounce was absent when the car was stock, stock wheels (not soft) , no weights. I guess that this is normal and it's not a problem for crawling. Somehow the shocks can't work as on a buggy since all tha weight is on the axle instead of the car body ... please let me know what you think and if your crawler have some bounce when dropped too , so that i can stop trying to remove it buying different foams. (By the way , i like rovers with stock memory foam ... lot of traction...)
thanks !
