|  Offset wheels and steering
I just finished a stock Newage kit. I have enough steering to rub the outside of the shock with the inside of the tire. The track width is about 10.5" wheel to wheel. When you run offset wheels, do you just do with less steering? Or, do you put spacers on the bottom shock mount and not worry about the shock hitting the transmission case at full articulation - Thanks...

is your shock mounted to the inside or outside of the bottom bracket?

A lot of guys run a skinny chassis that tilts the shocks in a bit which will allow a little more steering. Another benefit is the smaller chassis will weigh less if made from delrin.

My tires rub on my rig, I spent more time getting the shocks not to touch the trans or the motors than I did the tires, I just let it rub, makes the springs spin @ full lock, looks kinds kool to me  |

My last set of springs were down to the bare metal from tire rub.

I took my lower links and put a spacer to move it in closer to the motor, then I moved the shocks from the outside to the inside. I have as much steering as I can without the pins coming out! That with my dig is a lot  BTW I running a Kami 3.0 chassis though....
