Default how low is to low?

well after getting my butt chewed off in february for posting pics of my clod that was nearly 14 inches tall with a jeep body and stock tires I decided to show you boys that I can build a compettion rig too. my clod now sits a mere 7.5 inches tall at the tallest point which is the top of the body and thats with moabs! basically all it is, is a home brew stick with the front clip and tail gate chopped off. it actually sits lower then my stampede does with a buggy body on it! so I'm not sure how many responses I will get but does a rig ever get to low? I mean the body and stuff I actually gained an inch of clearance all the way around but the battery actually sits lower so the cog hasnt raised but the vehicle appears lower. can it get to low? I will post a picture once our next roll of film is developed (yes it sucks to be me because I dont have a digital camera)
Brad
p.s. Mods move this to chit chat if thats where it should be posted Thanks

too low is when you scrape the rocks. too low is when you cant get over stuff that everyone else can.

since you have a stick, you dont have to worry about too low anymore. just dont let the body get all chewed up.

too low depends on the wheel base, if it sits really low with a long wheel base the break over angle will keep you from going over anything, it is just a balancing act
