Here ya go, savage14. Dunno what you're looking for regarding ground clearance, but I re-did the shocks on advice from a fellow on another forum.

He was right; the oil that came in the shocks from the factory was some really strange stuff that looked like salad oil. I cleaned all of that out and replaced it with 35 weight silicone shock oil. The shocks now rebound like they should. This made the ride height a bit higher as you can see in the second photo.

Conventional wisdom says that the A-arms should be parallel to the ground. Perhaps, but I like the way the truck handles now better than it did before I re-did the shocks. I don't do big jumps, so I dunno exactly what to tell you about that. I can tell you that this is a VERY neat ride, and I like it a bunch. 4WD kicks butt; I should have gotten a 4WD truck long ago. My grandson's RC-10 is still faster than this MT2, but I'm all over him in the turns.
