What are good droop base settings for carpet on a Yokomo RS2.0?

There isn’t a carpet-specific RS2.0 droop number available here, so I wouldn’t call any value a confirmed carpet baseline. For a consistent first measurement, use the RS2.0’s recorded medium-asphalt references, about 23 mm front and 23.6 mm rear, then tune on your carpet; treat these as reference points, not proven carpet settings.

Droop limits how far the suspension can extend when the chassis lifts. On high-grip carpet, a little more droop can help calm traction roll, while too much can make the car less stable at speed.

• Put the car on a flat setup board and use the same droop gauge and measurement method at both ends. Remove the wheels if your gauge requires it.
• Adjust the RS2.0’s droop screws so they limit the suspension’s downward travel, then measure each side and match left to right.
• Start near the reference values above, make small changes one end at a time, and recheck ride height afterward.

If it traction-rolls, try a little more droop; if it feels loose or unstable on the straight, try less. The carpet-specific starting point will depend on grip level and your current setup.

Yes, you’re right. Measure at axle-center height with the Aerox/MR33-style droop gauge, not under the sway bar. I should have made that clear. The RS2.0 front reference is specifically listed as 23 mm on an MR33 droop circle; the rear 23.6 mm reference is also a gauge reading, not a measurement under the bar. Those references are for asphalt, not a confirmed carpet baseline.

Set the car on a level setup board, use the gauge’s axle-center supports, and adjust the RS2.0 droop limiters until you get the reading. Keep the swaybar installed if it is not binding or preloading the suspension; the bar itself is not the measurement point. Use the same gauge and method at both ends, since readings from different measurement systems may not match.
