can u loosen the preload up an lil an get it down to 7 or a lil below . you have plenty of gc for around here an what we crawl on. being up that high will make it a little top heavy on the side hilling.

I like forward bias, my rear is so light in the rear it floats on water.

Amazing that it balances like that! Looks really good. You got some really good clearance in the back.

Great work on the link mount and rear weights Steve

Impressive work as always.

Now all you gotta do is come up with a nice spring perch/preload adjuster for my scx shocks

I've done about everything I can think of on my rig to put off making that link mount for you Randy, I guess I'm gonna have to do it now
A battery mount will cost you big time though
