What's the recommended droop for indoor carpet

Miles, So Dialed's RC setup AI

For the XRAY X4 ’22, start with 9 mm front and rear shock stroke on carpet. That is the common carpet setting; on high-grip carpet, some setups use 8.5 mm instead.

The X4 setup data lists this as shock stroke, which affects droop and suspension travel. Measure and adjust it the same way at both ends so the comparison stays consistent. If the car traction-rolls, try reducing stroke slightly; if it needs more grip or feels unsettled over the carpet, return to 9 mm and test from there. Changes can affect cornering and stability, so make one adjustment at a time.
