Argh! How do I set up shocks on Procat?

[kaszal]

Cheers but that was Jon's work at RCS Graphic Worx. He also did my new TBG Procat shell but a different design.

Those old Schumacher front springs had few coils didn't they, almost like a touring car spring. Does anyone know the spring rate on the old CAT or Procat springs?

Got this out the Procat manual. What do these springs measurements mean?

Could it be
thickness turns and lenght ???

maybe email schumacher

Thanks, that makes sense. The length must be in inches.

Good, the AE blue springs I've got are 1.66" long / rate 4.2 and I can get the AE silver springs, which are 1.3" long / rate 3.85

Will the shorter springs be more progressive?

That was so much better ..........

i didnt like the herse back in the days and still dont like it.....

I´m bidding on some xls bodies 3 to be more precise and one undertray.
They are used but will do for now.

Thanks for your comments. Think I got the dampers nearly sorted...

Front: 2 hole piston 1mm dia, 30wt oil, AE blue springs 4.2 rate, short Schumacher ball cups

Rear: 2 hole piston 1.3mm dia, 30wt oil, Losi yellow springs 2.0 rate

Got spacers on shock shafts to limit downtravel and both roll bars are back on. Still seems a bit hard but I'm hoping it will handle Stotfold better (astro turf track with jumps) and won't bottom out or roll too much.

Here's a video of me doing a "drop test" whatever value that is, have a look...
