Looks like the chassis is designed to run straight lower links.

I would love one of those chassis for my lil boys build where might someone run across one of those cant seem to find them for sale anywhere ? That rig looks very nice man. I tend to agree tho it looks like it needs straight links in the rear.

Hbzusa.com I think is the website

Im also running the warthog chassis. I found that running straight lower links in the rear will give u more flex. Also run your rear shocks at the first mounting holes to lay em down more flat. It will lower your cog a lil and help with body roll.

I run bent lowers on mine but I have mounted them on the outside of the chassis and they clear fine. I'm running the same shock and spring rates as you also and it does make a huge difference to mount the rears in the forward most hole.

thanks i had another guy tell me that but i tried it and the way mine is i had no flex withthe shocks in the foward most hole because my links are to the inside of the chassis but i went back to a stock chassis so i could do a bug body but thanks for the info... im selling the warthog chassis if ya need another one.

update..... i switched back to the stock chassis only because ive wanted a bug crawler for a long time.
