For 1/8 off-road competitors, consistent droop measurement is essential for predictable handling. The HUDY 107704 Chassis Droop Gauge Support Blocks are a lightweight option to measure and standardise droop across your vehicle.
Proper droop settings control how the suspension extends between bumps and during weight shifts, which directly affects grip and stability. Using these support blocks helps you target the right down-travel for your track conditions.
Take off the tyres and lay the chassis on a flat board supported by the blocks. Place the front block under the servo saver and the rear under the rear suspension mount, then use a droop gauge at the axle hex to log measurements.
Maintain a setup log of droop values so you can revert to known settings after experimenting. Small, consistent changes to droop often yield the best improvements without upsetting overall balance.
