Any Ideas?
 

Bought this for my 11yr old son. It is to low to the ground and I was wondering if any of you pros could give me some ideas on what kind of suspension I could put on here for more ground clearance.

Buggy's are made to be fairly low. You could always change the wheels and tires to lift it a little.

RE: Any Ideas?
 

You can get pre-load clips to change ride hight

He wants to lift it.

I smell an argument

When you add a clip it lifts it.

^^ Thats what I did with my Touring car, sure it's not a buggy but it should work the same.

RE: Any Ideas?
 

Whats a clip?

RE: Any Ideas?
 

Adding a pre-load adjuster lowers it and reduces travel.

RE: Any Ideas?
 

adding prelode clips adds tension and makes the spring slitely firmer and eliminates the squat.....

Heres some pre-load clips http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LX3020&P=RF

But they might not fit on your shocks, I don't now.

RE: Any Ideas?
 

Yea, didn't mean to say it lowers it, it allows you to adjust the spring height, in turn making it stiffer which allows you to vary your travel/pre-load.

RE: Any Ideas?
 

in other words, there is not much you can do to this particular car to get more clearance other than to try to find a bigger rim\tire combo that will fit the whell hexes.

RE: Any Ideas?
 

Yep, pretty much. Buggy's are made to sit low, that's how they achieve more aerodynamic properties compared to trucks.

RE: Any Ideas?
 

Unless you're going rock crawling, then I'm not sure if that buggy would need any extra ground clearance to go over most terrain.

RE: Any Ideas?
 

Might be able to get some extenders, truck body and truck tires and make it a truggy......Depends what kind it is. Other than that selling it and getting an ST or MT maybe?

RE: Any Ideas?
 

My son is using it on a park grounds where I run my MT2 and it keeps getting stuck on sticks and stuff. Bent the chasis in the front when he hit a curb ( very low curb ) that my MT2 would go over without hesistation!

Just lookin for a way to raise it some.

I'm going to try the clips..... if not I'll go with the other advice that was givin!

I would just like to say THANKS to everyone that has tried to help me!!
