If you race 1/8 off-road vehicles, controlling droop is key to consistent lap times. The HUDY 107704 Chassis Droop Gauge Support Blocks are a lightweight solution to help you measure droop accurately and replicate setups between runs.
Droop determines how much down-travel the suspension allows, which changes traction and how the car transfers weight. Using these blocks helps you tune down-travel for better corner exit and mid-corner stability based on surface grip.
Take off the wheels and set the chassis on a flat board supported by the blocks. Place the front block under the servo saver and the rear block under the rear suspension bracket. Use a droop gauge at the wheel hex to take consistent readings.
Adjust droop to suit soft or hard track surfaces; more droop can help over bumpy terrain while less droop can sharpen responsiveness. Small, consistent changes deliver predictable handling improvements.
