RC Cheat Sheets: Rear Ride Height
Lower: less rear end sliding in corners.
Higher: better acceleration in loose terrain, better lift off jumps.
The rear ride height is the distance from the ground to the bottom of the chassis measured at the rear (with the kit fully equipped).
Check the ride height by lifting up the entire car about six to eight inches off the bench and dropping it. After the suspension "settles" into place, then add or remove preload clips, or adjust threaded shock collars up or down so the ride height is level (so both dogbones are in a straight line).
If you decide to move the battery pack forward or back, then recheck the ride height and adjust so it is level.
The rear ride height setting you should use most often in offroad is with the outdrive, driveshaft, and axles all on the same imaginary horizontal line (referred to as "bones level"). Making large ride height adjustments up or down from this setting will tend to make the car feel unpredictable.
You should always check the ride height after making all your other adjustments, just before you are ready to race. Ride height "bones level" is a starting point.
