Question: Hi prof, hope u r well. I have just built my Topforce re, to use as a runner. i have put a trinity 2x 10 turn motor in her, but it seems heavy, as it pulls the rear suspension a lot lower than the front. Is there a quick fix i can do to the suspension?? i am trying to avoid taking them off, emptying them, and filling them back up with harder suspension oil Many tanks :)
 

The wise one answers:

I'm very well thanks for asking! The oil doesn't generally change the hardness of the shocks but the rate they change length. You can use thick oil and very soft springs and the car still sit low but take a while to settle down there. For your Top Force try adjusting springs to a shorter more compressed state, change for thicker springs or try different damper mount positions. Usually a more upright damper angle will make it stiffer.
