Shortening wheelbase from the front... Geometry?

[Shinchu]

I am fitting a truggy style body and the front wheel arches are further back. If I shorten the wheelbase only at the front I am sure it will dork up the steering and lateral link geometry.
Anyone have a solution for this?
I know people have run shorter links but how does that effect bump steer and binding? Shock angle would be effected as week. What do?
(For reference we are talking maybe 10mm at most)

Thanks!

Shortening the links will cause the panhard to be way off also. You can move the mount back, but your servo is fixed, I doubt you can get a short enough link there . Why not move the body back a bit?

Yeah what about just having an axle forward look?


What body? any pics?

I guess a "bit" of an axle forward design would be okay... Really the only thing holding the cab to the rear is the huge rx box agains the inside rear cab wall. Maybe I can slot that to move it forward.

That was a problem with my UMG10 body as well, it was quick and easy to drill some holes to move the box on the side tray.



The lid of the receiver box works as a perfect template for drilling the new holes.

I take it this build is under wraps
