get longer 3mm screws and the alloy spacers, and move your lower links inside of your shocks.

DONT FORGET WHEEL WEIGHTS!

also look int dremmeling, or getting a transmission mount plate w/ the cut outs to mount the susp. arms inside the chassies.

sofer springs are nice, too. i drooped mine 40/60.

and ive been using the velcro to strap my stick pacs over the servo. until i get some hump pacs to go on the front axels

Yea, thanx for the ideas. i was already wondering about the tires hitting the links. and I could use alittle more steering. and I used more of those plasic plates
and alum. spacer to hold the sadle battery packs I made. The all that wieght up front makes a BIG diff. I'll post the pic. of the plates up front. Thanx again. If
u have pics. of ur mods. I like to see em.
