RC Suspension Tuning Guide – Anti-Dive

RC Tuning - Anti-Squat

What is Anti-Dive?
Anti-Dive (AKA Pro-Squat) describes the angle of the front inner hinge pin. If the pin is angled forward (rear mount higher than the front), the result is Anti-Dive.

You can adjust this setting by either raising the front mount or lowering the rear one.
