Yeah thats why im asking... I think it might be too, but under full artic the tires almost hit. And I dont want to cut holes for the shock mounts... Looks like it has a body lift I have plans on how I want to finish it off if it does stay at that height.

If the tires almost hit, leave it there. Just use some thin lexan or styrene sheet to hide the gaps.







P.S. Hurry up!!

Looks great! I really like what you did with the batteries.
Good job.
Sorry I won't be at Folsom this weekend to see it in person.
Hopefully I will see it in October if you can make it out there then too.

This thing is a freakin blast to drive!! I cant get enough of it. Two hours yesterday and everything held up just fine. Cant wait for the comp this weekend. Not sure if I am looking foward to competing or driving this on some real rocks

Taking pics and using a stick radio at the same time is a PITA but here is a little sequence
