| K, I will look for them. Specs : Custom made upper(70mm) and lower(101mm) links, raised upper rear link about 3/4" Installed 2 sets of internal springs one on top and one on the bottom (I think it is actually benificial the shock is very effortless and better ride height for me) Im going to mount the esc and reciever under the plate they are on top of. custom made sub-C pack on front axle. I made the mods to put the lower links inside but it works more freely on the outside (need to figure that out) Any input or questions are welcome. |

| Your geometry is very similar to mine, except I'm half drooped. I found that the reason the lowers won't move as freely as on the outside has to do with placement on the axle end out wide like that. The angle it places the chassis ends of the links at cause binding on the chassis side plates. Just throw a 3mm spacer in between the chassis and the lower link spacing it in a bit and it will fit inside the chassis just fine. LMK if that helps |

| Cool thanks, I need to grind a little more plastic away to make room for the 3mm spacer and longer screw but that looks better I will let you know and post a pic tomorrow after I have time to disassemble and grind on it a little. |

| Finally a GOOD drink on one of these tubers. Great placement of the glass on top, that tuber looks like it was created for that. |
