I noticed the front and rear shocks are angled differently, is it an issue?

It's not really an issue with the chassis its an issue with how I like things (driving style an such ) I prefer the rear to be more up and down and straight And I like the front leaned a little softer and more flexible And leaned in instead of straight up and down I feel this gives you a stable rear and a flexible front that's able to feel and grab But .... I could be wrong all together | |

Couple small updates Rowdy racing battery mount And I changed up the front weight a little Wanted to go with just full on knuckle weights no wheel weight but the losi wheels wouldn't let me So I ended up with 2oz knuckle weight and 1.5oz in the wheel Wanted to try just a lil more weight up front Other than that I gotta tidy up the wiring and bend the front of the skid up Taking her out for the first official comp tomorrow |

I have very limited experience in crawling so far but, with out changing too much I've been changing things one at a time in a experimental fashion to learn what parts are responsible for certain parts of movement, and one of the things I have discovered about the suspension is that with the front shocks laid out (closer to parallel to the ground) the softer they "act"

The S.P. looks a bit tippy at the moment, have you tried different link positions, from the camera angle it's hard to see If you look at this project by markfw, the link geometry just looks right to me, and they say if it looks right it usually is pretty close: The top links are almost in a straight line but slightly higher at the front |

Yeah it has no problem with just about any breakover I did run one course last night 10 gates for a -9 and that's pretty good for my driving Based on those pics above I can see where my links need to be but I'm not sure I have the materials to get it done... |
