He is some body shots... getting about 10.5" with pretty major rubbing.
Good wheelbase


Flexing on my toolbox

Front tire stuff

Rear axle droop


Hard to see... but 10.5-11" of flex

Let me know what you think now.

Stable... the only think is that it rubs something awful. I got another chassis from Nylint because my old on ****ted out and I am going to tummy tuck that one, then do all the other mods and switch my body/tires/battery to that one. Wish my luck. It is my first 1/6th tummy tuck.

Some of these "extreme" flexy rigs I see with the bodies on, show the tires rubbing the body. Or do I just have bad eyesight? Either way, I see belt problems instore for the guys that have rubbing tires.

I just inboarded the rear upper shock mounts and swapped the rear springs for front springs. The body does flop over a little more which I'm not sure I like. I may put the top back to stock and try something else instead.

I only have a little over 9.75" of poser flex with the shocks in the stock position, but i modified the arms and shock bodies for more compression travel. I actually had to also remove the gray portion from the lower grill as it would limit my front up travel before my shocks could fully bottom out.

i since removed that as well


This photo is pre body cut, the front tires rubbed like hell and the rears rubbed the back corner of the body.



Thats the amount of cutting it took to clear the tires, lock to lock, stuff and droop on mine.
