Rc4wd Cms and panhard

[rochonjr]

OK, guys. So I installed a Rc4wd CMS kit with a panhard bar. And I lost travel in the front. It hit the chassis and so on. So what you guys to fix or tune it. Its mounted per they're instruction and with the rod ends. My mind is at a lost with this kit. In point is need and thankful for.

Pictures would help, but I can tell you the pan hard hit the chassis on mine aswell.

Do you have bump stop installed on your shocks. If you look close at the pics on rc4wd's website the truck shown has bump stops installed on the shocks. You still should have almost full compression though even without the stops.

I always trim off the servo mounts on the axle to give me more travel

It's simply the trade-off when using the CMS/Panhard set-up, it can/will limit travel when compared to the axle mounted servo. Whether it's affected and how much depends on how much travel you had before you switched. Some tune around the problem, i.e. they limit/restrict their travel.

I ve cut the servo mounts off, as well. Panhandle bar hits the housing and the chassis. It's cut my travel in half, and running wide xr10 mod. I ll post pics asap.

Even with the vanquish kit you will lose some front articulation. Its just part of it. to be honest its not necessarily a bad thing. Limited articulation can help to balance a rig out in my opinion.
