Question Any ground clearance answers from the pro's?

I'm running a TAG~S custom chassis with a axial ckrc skid, R2d tranny, rooster and 55t combo, WK axles. My question is, my wb is 12 3/8" hub to hub. My ground clearance is exactly 2". Am I going to have a problem? I am running a full droop setup.

2" is just about right if ya ask me. It will be a belly dragger but it will sidehill much better that way..

By no means am I a Pro. At 2'' i would think that is a little low. Matters what your terrain is. i.e smooth redrocks/slickrocks the lower ground clearnence is managable. Up here in the NW it seems that rocks are jagged and sharp. When i was in Denver area i was running like 2 1/4 inch of "ride height" with lower profile losi claws. Now being in Washington i am running 2 5/8'' with a blue dot rover. Both setups seem to be running very well. Personal preference but its just up to you on how you set up your rig. Hopefully that helps.

Yup, trial and error in your terrain. If you don't like the setup, remount the shocks and just keep playing with it till you get it.
