Not allot maybe 40 or 45 degrees,but I have learned that is all you really need most of the time,and it makes the rig very very stable..the jato shocks are 3.5" and very smooth..I cut the springs to give it half droop and I still have almost 3" of belly clearance..You just don't need a long shock for this chassis to perform...With this setup I have noticed zero torque twist even on almost vertical climbs...I love it

How did you cut the springs on the Jato shocks?

yet another black jack. wow these things are starting to take over and they perform very very well, im think about getting one but i want to be a little different so we will see at the comp this saturday im going to be looking at a secret chassis and i might be going with that, but the black jacks perform so good its hard to beat. very nice rig man..

Did you have to modify the shocks, or were they a direct fit?

Nice lid. Looks good. Tell your brother to get rid of that junk he has and come back to axial so he can keep up

I just picked up a set of those wheels and tires for my rig.
