I am running my rear uppers one hole lower than you right now and I can't remember this happening.

I'll keep an eye out for it and report back.

FYI - Your rear clocking doesn't look too extreme.

Same here, one hole lower on the rear uppers at the chassis and all the way up on the axle.

I have checked and I don't seem to be having the same issue. I am running Dlux super lites so my upper links have zero separation at the axle.

This chassis sure is awesome though.

I tried looking for your build thread to find a pic of your rear..
Can you post a pic?
My thoughts are: your shocks might be wider on the axle? Or spaced further off your chassis?

@ Tapped.. Will your shocks mount on the outside of your shock/link mounts? Just to see if that helps.

I'll look to see.. yes I can but will try this after next comp, if the adjustments I've made haven't fixed the the issue.

About the lifting problem ... Can you space the rear uppers out just a little more at the chassis? That solved the same problem i had with aT1e chassis once.

This is one of the adjustments I'll have made before next comp.

Spaced shocks out at chassis & spaced upper rear links at axle. I'll post up if this help/stops rear tire lifting after our next comp.

The shocks spaced seemed to help keep rear tires planted, no amount of spacers would have fixed this... tough chassis/rig nothing busted... pic below...video coming soon..


Picture is from another great pro comp with Border Line Crawlers.

Rig looks great bro. I'll have feedback on the pins you gave me at worlds very soon. Smart, calm driving. My practice this spring is going to be working on seeing the big picture. I saw a lot of that in the vids.

If pins don't workout PM Gunnar for some new pins custom sizes for $1.00 ea.

Thanks for the kind words, staying calm with the timer counter counting down is really hard sometimes but a must to finish the course many times @ gate 10 with seconds left I've choked and not finished the course.
Good luck digging out of the 3' of snow to practice, it's been 4yrs since I've had that much snow

Man oh man. I sure did miss seeing that pic! Even miss the "D'bag" that made all the comments on it, way back when! (he knows who he is. He's out there lurking)

Just wait till they see a pic of you this year... "Is that Turbo?"

First of all, you guys know I'm a rock star. That face was simply a normal reaction to learning there wouldn't be a 4seasons
At the next comp
