What rod ends you using? Lay back your shocks? Reduce their travel? As said... pics would help.

Sounds Like your running the wrong rod ends. Make sure you use traxxas short revo rodends and your good to go. But 11.25!! that's 1 1.25" too short what went wrong? Did you cut the links at all? Let's see some pics and I will have a better point of veiw.

Well run shorter Shocks. Which will lower it and bring out the Wheelbase. How long are the shocks that are on it now? |

| You must have something weird going on with your rod ends. The upper link mounts are very high, at 3.4" ride height you should still be well over a 12" wb, there is very little wb change with this layout. Lets see some pictures and I'm sure the problem will be apparent.

Mine did that too. I switched to 16.5ms frame rate on my DX3R and it went away.
