Mike, I moved the chassis back so that the front shocks would have a little angle to them, instead of standing straight up, to gain a little articulation. With the shocks like this, there is 4 3/4" under a tire at full twist, which is not enough for me, I've always liked closer to 75* of twist, and use my geometry to float a tire when needed  After testing today, I don't know if I will run it at the comp or not, my other cars are what I know inside and out and I can make them do exactly what I want, but the cool factor is why I picked up the Hustler to begin with, and with some more changes to the car(read major overhaul again  ) and tuning, it may just be able to give them a run for their money .

So floating a tire has nothing to do with liberal application of throttle? |

This will go with all the supers you have had.  Then I will be able to pick up another Hustler 2.2 dirt cheap. Last edited by Red Rockcrawler; 03-21-2008 at 10:18 PM. |

That's one way to do it, but that usually results in floating more than one tire at a time, especially with the Cobalt on 11.1v | |
