Droop screws suck

I've actually gone back and made some adjustments to this, four washers to the rear end measured 3mm + the height of the domed head and I think that was limiting my droop too much. Dropped to 3 washers worth at 2.3mm which gives surisingly more droop for only 0.7mm difference but is still within tolerance for needing to compress the shock for fitting and not bottom out.

All done, packed out with washers to stop the screw threads wearing through the arms too.

THIS!!!!!! Apparently this is a good Idea. Installed new J&T titanium droop screws and after 3 packs of not so crazy running, my front left droop screw has pushed through the plastic/ flush on the arm. Interesting the original droop screws didnt do this albeit theybed into the frame.

This is how I did mine. Metal droop screws in a plastic arm are truly a shi**y bit of design out the box.

Don’t like the screw & washers it’s a pain to adjust so binned them & installed some tworks titanium ones. If in the states klinik rc do some might work out better price avoid trump taxes.

Just changed my rear drive shafts to the 90degree offset pin variant on my kagama4, the end result being I can now run a lot more droop to the rear without oscillations being a factor. More downward travel should be much better for landing jumps and preventing the rear end from kicking up over the rough stuff.

Sounds good! Which part did you buy? I couldn’t find the correct length last time I looked.

Thank you! It's exactly the same part number as listed in my manual as stock. Apparently they changed the part to 90degree offset and are no longer selling the straight ones.

That is my understanding too, I will say this though, it's fractionally shorter than the original bones that came with my Kag4 which probably also helps in achieving more articulation.
