Adjusting Redcat Racing R/C Car Ride Height
You know those plastics C-clip spacers in the accessory bag that most RC cars come with. Those are spring pre-load spacers. Adding these spacers won’t change the stiffness of the springs, but they will raise the ride height. If a stiffer ride is what you’re after, you’ll need to install stiffer spring, but if you’re after a lifted ride, these spacers are what you’re after. Clip the spacers above the upper plastic spring retainer ring. Adding more spacers extends the suspension even more. Basically what we are doing is using the spacers to slide the spring down on the shock body acting as a lift kit.
Aluminum threaded shocks usually sport a threaded collar for adjusting ride height. The theory is the same, but instead of spacers, you screw down the collar. Whether you want a low rider or a jacked up monster, adjusting spring preload can help.
